Book Review: Answering Your Kids' Toughest Questions by Fitzpatrick and Thompson

This book was a gem of a resource that I think will be most helpful for all Christian families. In fact, I wish I had this book earlier in my walk when I was working with children who were not my own. I used to work with children from hard backgrounds and they would have many of these questions. I had a hard time answering them as I was trying to sort through the hard things as they were but this book makes it easier to understand how to answer.

It makes it easier to answer questions because it first helps you understand by examining the Scriptures first yourself. After you understand then you can explain, to the best of your ability, to your children. Of course it is impossible to understand all hard things and the book is not shy about admitting this but this book helps a great deal.

This book is easy to read and is divided by topics that are probably most pressing today. After the topics are explored based on Scripture the end of the chapter includes possible words you can say to children. These scripts are divided up into three stages. Ages 3-5, 6-10, and 11+.

My favorite thing about this book is that it kept bringing things back to the overall picture of the Bible. Trials and troubles are here today because we live in a fallen world. We all are in desperate need of a Savior. It was the hope given that kept me reading. It is the truth our children need to hear.

I received a copy of this book free of charge from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review.
