Answers Book For Teens - Vol 1

Where can teens find the solid answers they need?

Teens have questions, and they need solid answers to help them defend and protect their faith. They face challenges daily as our culture erodes Christian values through public schools, political compromises, the media, and peer pressures. They struggle to believe the Bible while the world keeps telling them that Christianity is an empty exercise. This book, the first in a groundbreaking new series, will give teens the insights they need into God's love and His Word—answers that they will never receive from the world!

Find great answers to these 15 popular faith questions:

1. How can anyone believe that the Bible is true since it was written so long ago when people didn't know stuff?
2. If God's really so great, why does He let so much pain and bad stuff happen in the world, like earthquakes, floods, and wars??
3. I believe God created the earth, but does it really matter how old the earth is?

It is imperative that theologically conservative, gospel-centered churches get serious about teaching faith-affirming apologetics, especially for their young people. As revealed in our eye-opening book Already Gone, children start becoming skeptical about the Bible almost as soon as they start hearing that “science” has proven Scripture to be wrong—and that’s early!

Undermining the Bible usually begins in cartoons that talk about millions of years. Evolution is actually affirmed by well-intentioned Sunday school teachers whose curricula avoid teaching what the Bible reveals regarding Creation and the Flood. By the time they’re teens, young people are so hardened against the trustworthiness of the Bible that they stop believing in Jesus—and many never return. In addition, their friends, teachers, and the media tell them every day that the Bible is simply a bunch of moral stories. Young people understand that if that is true, then the gospel message is a lie, and faith in Jesus is futile.

It is with that reality in mind that AiG has written a new book especially for teens. Please consider the teens in your life. They've been lied to.
