Don't Check Your Brains at the Door
By Josh McDowell & Bob Hostetler
“Seven in 10 Protestants ages 18 to 30—both evangelical and mainline—who went to church regularly in high school said they quit attending by age 23, according to the survey by LifeWay Research.” (USA Today)
Don’t Check Your Brains at the Door gives teens answers that make sense, even for the toughest of questions. Internationally known defender of the faith Josh McDowell and co-author Bob Hostetler offer clarity laced with humor to expose common myths about God, the Bible, religion, and life to show how Christianity stands up to the test of fact and reason. Teens will be better equipped to stick with their faith as they begin to understand why they believe and why it’s important to make a lifetime commitment to Christ and the church.
This book isn't a book to read to have new revaluations about the Bible. However, this book does contain TONS of solid valuable evidence for WHY we can believe the Bible to be true. It reminded me of the Case for Christ, but in a teen friendly version. This book can be used for personal growth, and the questions/references at the end of each chapter make it a useful tool for youth groups. You would need a good group of kids to use this as your youth group. But Leaders could pull from this book without the kids knowing and it could still be great. Great general knowledge about false religions, cults, and other lame arguments that can (and will) be thrown at you during your Christian walk. I am a christian and enjoyed the book, I don't know how Non-Christians would feel.
