The Case for a Creator for Kids
$7.99
Amazon has two reviews of The case for a Creator for Kids, one 4-star and one 2-star.

First the 4-star:

This is a good intro to why creationism is valid. The case for a creator for kids is for 8-12 year olds, so if you have a mature child I'd suggest the teen edition rather than criticizing a book that is VERY clearly meant for beginner creationists. The simple terms helped my 8 year old grasp the concepts; and in our opinion, this is an EXCELLENT foundation for understanding the logic & importance of a world made by a creator.
++++++

Ok, anyone who says *creationism* is valid immediately gets my attention. This is clearly a parent who wants to force a religion on their kid, not educate them about religion. The logic and importance of a world made by a creator? The Scopes trial set conservative Christianity back for nearly 60 years. You think they would have learned.

and then...

here is the 2-star:

The Case for a Mature Argument, June 4, 2006
A Kid's Review
I read this book and I guess you could say I feel slightly offended. I wish that I could find a book that on Intelligent Design that speaks to people my age without assuming they have no prior knowledge of the topic: this suggests that we live out our childhood with our ears blocked and eyes closed. Any child raised in a Christian family will be somewhat aware of what going on. We don't need to hear about Mrs. Homily and Mr. Axiom; rather we need a bible in our hand and a mature argument in our minds. I have often been called upon to defend the account laid out in Genesis against adults who were far better informed. I would like a way to defend myself.

No offense meant. I realize I'm pretty mature for my age and not everyone in my age group can be expected to share these sentiments.

If Lee Strobel was a recognized scholar wouldn't other scholars have weighed in by now? The copyright is 2006, three years ago. The publishers says that the audience is 8-12 year old children.

My CD collection has grown considerably since I bought this nearly 4 years ago, but it still gets play once in awhile. The El Da Sensei joint makes this album worth the purchase alone. Phil Da Agony's contribution is worth noting as well. As far as all the phone message skits, i'll agree it gets old really fast, but if you're too lazy to push a skip button once in awhile then you may want to steer clear.

I have loved this movie since it came to the big screen. What was more science fiction when it first shown is now very possible. The love of a man to spend his career working towards creating his dead wife of thirty years from her cells. A young woman helps him with giving her eggs and falls in love with the doctor/scientist. In the end love is seen as the "The Big Picture/Eye of God". The young assistant to the doctor shows the power of love when he spends what could be the last thirty six hours of life of his love (who is in a coma). While there is a good outcome for all, the movie does make me cry for the power of love exhibited by the characters.

I like paul johnson, and this book is a nice survey on an interesting array of figures. He provides cute anecdotes and primary traits that are found in different creators. Its an easy read, that will give you interesting but forgetful facts. I recommend it, but I recommend it be digested in sips, not in gulps.
