Product Description

All the Good Stuff Happened Thousands of Years Ago ...

It would be easy to believe if a couple of seas suddenly parted or a few cities were destroyed with fire and brimstone, or people were able to walk on water. But after spending a jillion Sundays in church, teens haven't seen anything that would convince them that God is alive - much less that God cares about them personally.

In fact, nobody is giving clear, solid help in dealing with the really important questions of life - like, does God exist? What does God want from them? Does it matter if they're Catholic or not? Until now.

God, the first in the Prove It! series, answers the real questions they have about God, the Catholic Church, other religions, evolution, good and evil, and a whole lot of other things they never hear about in religion classes, Sunday sermons, or from their parents.

But don't take our word for it. Let them read Prove It! God and decide for themselves. What do they have to lose besides their doubts?

Don't believe in God? This book can help.
Written in a lively style, this excellent book provides answers to the most common arguments for not believing in God. Short and easily readable, this book is ideal for teenagers or adults that question their faith.

Drawing from Welborn's experience as a teacher, she tackles statements such as:

-I don't believe in God because no one can prove he exists. -I don't believe in God because people could have just made the stuff in the Bible up. -I don't believe in God because people do such horrible things in the name of religion. -I don't believe in God because innocent people suffer.

Welborn provides clear, solid help in answering the important questions of life, such as does God exist? What does God want from me? Does it matter if I'm Catholic or not?

Each chapter includes a summary. This book could easily be used with teenagers, or as part of religious instruction or CCD classes.

This book is the first in the Prove It! series.

Great for teen and adult
I bought this book for my teenage daughter, who had a lot of questions.
I pre read it before giving it to her and was quite pleased. The reading level was not to advanced or overly simplified. Amy Wellborn did a great job of taking some difficult concepts and explaining them very clearly.
Even if your kids are not into reading this book will give y ou a lot of information to explain things to them, or it can be used for just about any CCD/ Religious Ed class.
Keep in mind that this is not intended to be an all encompassing tome like the Summa Theologica of Aquinas, but for the average teen and pre teen this does a great job.

insightful
My teen enjoyed this book. And even though I am in my 40's, I thoroughly enjoyed it also. I found it to be insightful and simply explained some concepts that can get confusing when confronted by a nonbeliever. Highly, highly recommended!
