Ep. 40 : Jesse Florea – Defend Your Faith!
Amy and Mike talk in this episode with Jesse Florea editor of “Family Clubhouse” from Focus on the Family, about his new book Defend Your Faith – 100 Devotions for Kids with Questions.
Why do you believe in God?
Answering that question might seem hard, but it’s important. “Defend Your Faith: 100 Devotions for Kids with Questions” introduces young believers to apologetics. These devotions give readers real tools and real answers for why they believe in God and why they trust the Bible.
Through the easy-to-digest entries, kids will look into the universe and see how God’s fingerprints are all over creation. They’ll dig in the dirt to uncover archeological evidence. And they’ll hear stories of real-life defenders of the faith who inspire us to do the same.
The “Defend Your Faith” devotional is written for kids 8 to 12, the age when many make a decision for Christ. Let’s equip and empower them to know what they believe, why they believe it, and how to defend it.
