I found the original Case for Christ book to be quite amazing. Definitely a must read for Christians and those who are interested in learning more about Christ. Strobel has a way of explaining things in a clear manner, with information and facts to back things up.

This Young Reader's edition is equally amazing and eye-opening. While written for a younger audience (presumably pre-teen and up), it still provides clear information and answers many questions about Jesus and his life. It isn't watered down at all IMO.

I would definitely recommend this book to any youth group. It can be a buddy read, used as a teaching guide, and more. I would also recommend it to anyone - young reader or otherwise - who is interested in learning more about Jesus.

If there is anyone who clearly presents unquestionable reasons for believing in someone or something that cannot be seen it is Stroebel. Presented in a way that is accessible and relatable for young readers this is a good to book to help young and old clearly see their way to Christ

The Case for Christ has been written for many different audiences. This edition is for young readers who may have a crisis of faith and or even no faith. The text is set up for you to approach the book as a detective following the evidence and drawing your conclusions. Lee Strobel being a investigative journalist was an atheist until he did his own search. He stresses that faith is not just intellect nor is it blind faith but the person of Christ.

The book starts with a young man who was injured in the sport he loved and put his faith in. He was confronted with his faith and his mother challenged him to understand what it means to be on God's team. Their is only two teams and you are on one or the other by what you put your faith in. The book goes into the evidence of faith and the implications of faith. I recommend this book for all as it will put you on a journey to the creator.

A special thank you to Zonderkidz and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

This is not my typical book review but I have a big dilemma with this book. I know Lee Strobel is a well established author and the publishing teams know what they're doing. But I really can't connect the title, or specifically the words "Young Reader's Edition" with this book. To me Young Reader means children, typically elementary age. But the book does not feel right for that age to me. I don't think kids that age would stick with this book for 130 pages. I don't think they'd do or think about the questions at the end of the chapters. I see references that may not be clear to them (like brief references to other religions, like Scientology, or reference to getting high, LSD). I don't think young kids would appreciate that Delfin's story in the first part of the book will be finished at the end (even I had to go find it and read to know what happened). Now if the intended audience is tweens or teens, then the content is better but that age would most likely be turned off by the "young reader" reference in the title and the cartoonish font that reinforces this is a "kids" book. And while some language, words and topics would go over the head of young readers, other parts has a style or tone that is campy and young. This is just my opinion but I struggle with this one. I'm not an expert but am a mom of two and long time elementary Sunday School teacher. I don't think I want to post a review elsewhere but am hoping the publisher gets enough feedback to recraft this one.
