Don't Check Your Brains at the Door

by Josh McDowell & Bob Hostetler

1992, 2011

If you’re interested in Christian apologetics, but don’t have the energy for a major brain work-out, Don’t Check Your Brains At The Door is the book for you.

Written for teens, this book offers short, easy to read chapters that respond to some of the major   
criticisms people have against the Bible and Christianity.

It also delves into many of the ideas about life and self that are rampant in today’s culture.

So what topics are addressed? Here are a few examples:

Is the Bible accurate?

Is God real and personal?

Is Jesus the Son of God?

Is the Resurrection real?

Is there truth?

Is money necessary for true happiness?

Is it all about me?

Is premarital sex okay?

This book was a really great read from start to finish and I was both entertained and educated. 

I am sure an "adult version" would contain a lot more apologetic detail, but frankly this book was just enough for my brain power. 

I also really appreciated the book's layout as it is possible to read topically or from cover to cover.

Sigh, 

So much good information, I just wish I could remember it all.

Dinosaurs

Have you ever wondered where dinosaurs fit into the scheme of things?

Have you ever wondered if there really were fire-breathing dragons?

Have you ever wondered what to tell your kids when they ask you these very questions?

Before you quickly run off with the standard science class answers, perhaps you should consider the alternative...

God

Two great books that speak to the "God-alternative" are:

Dragons or Dinosaurs? 

by Darek Isaacs

The Great Dinosaur Mystery  

by Ken Ham

Both are informative books that address when God created dinosaurs and how dragons really aren't the mythical creatures we tend to think they are.

I had my highlighter going the whole way.

If you are looking for more child-friendly books on the same topic, try these:

Dinosaurs of Eden

by Ken Ham

The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible

by Paul S. Taylor
