jose l mercado: This book is a necessary tool in our times. It equips moms or anyone with tools for discernment. With precision, the author changed "scary" terms into reachable knowledge. That's hard work! Highly recommended.

The book is in Spanish too!! The name is En defensa de la fe de nuestros hijos.

David M Jumeau: Good overview of the various cultural isms parents face today. I am interested however in more scriptural references to address them. I will review it again with this in mind.

Enabled by Him: Love this book! This has quickly become one of my most favorite books to date! It is for moms... but really everyone will benefit from its analysis of the culture's messages that are bombarding us. It's very readable and yet extremely insightful.

What I appreciate in this book is that they give a brief history of the topic, then walk you through a ROAR acronym (Recognize the messages gjven, Offer Discernment (the good messages/intents and the lies), Argue for a healthier approach, and then Reinforce through discussion, discipleship and prayer). This ROAR acronym really us a great way to work through each of the messages our culture throws at us.

Here are some of my latest favorite quotes:

"One of Christianity’s dirty little secrets that many inside (and outside) the church don’t know is that Christianity invites skepticism! We want our kids to be skeptical when someone tries to feed them an idea. Out of all the world’s religions, Christianity is the only one that has testable claims and invites rational inquiry. (Other religions consider it blasphemy to question their teachings.)"

"Colossians 2: 8 commands us to “see to it that no one takes you...

Jason and Dedra Kline: I am a Papa Bear privileged to be part of Mama Bear Apologetics Launch Team. I have been involved in Christian Apologetics since 2008 and hold a Master of Divinity from Liberty University. I am currently working toward my Master of Theology in Christian Theology, also at Liberty University. I have read many books on Philosophy, Theology and Apologetics and I got to say this is the most unique book I've read on the topic by far.

Most Apologetics books deal with abstract concepts like the existence of God, objective morality, the Resurrection of Christ, etc., and do so on a academic, technical level. This is not a bad thing as it is much needed. However, Hilary and her gang of Mama Bears really fill a void in meeting a specific demographic - mothers and or woman who care about children in general - on a sophisticated level but in a practical and realistic way. They don't just deal with far off concepts with a bunch of academic jargon. They take these difficult matters and put them in a simple and understandable way. That is not easy to do and I applaud the authors for this often daunting achievement.

Some of the cool topics they discuss that you will not likely find in...

Jennifer DeFrates: If you're a Christian parent, you want to raise your children to know and love the Lord, but there is no one sure-fired 100% way to parent that brings kids to Jesus. But we can make sure to point the way to a faith built on the solid foundation of truth. And Mama Bear Apologetics gives us the tools to build that foundation.

One of my favorite quotes from the book is, "Blind faith is easy to lose. Faith grounded in evidence is harder to walk away from." - Hillary Morgan Ferrer. So how do we give our kids that kind of foundation? You could spend years studying apologetics or you can start with this book.

Mama Bear Apologetics is like a cheat sheet for all the important concepts we need to know as parents to teach our children why we believe that Christianity is more than a good idea, it's the truth. Each of the authors writes with authority, but in a conversational tone that makes you feel like you could be sitting around the playground chatting.

Each chapter walks you through the way the world twists the truth or subverts Gods' word and offers real ways to clarify our thinking and think critically about the issues. And this book is written by busy moms for busy...
