This is a really excellent, well written book. It’s style is always respectful as it robustly answers some of the objections people raise against Christianity. My 13 year old had it recommended by her youth group, loved it and has recommended it to her friends. However, it isn’t just good for teens, I also found it helpful and have given away several copies I like it so much.

I bought this book to give to my 14 year old teenage daughter for Easter. On receiving it I flicked through - there are lots of good chapters, but I was SHOCKED to read in the chapter 'Who cares if you're a boy or girl' these words: "Throughout the last two thousand years, women have played a massive role in spreading the message of Jesus. Both men and women are called to this work. But a few Christians in each church are called to teach the Bible to the whole church and lead God's family in that place. These people are often called pastors and elders, and these roles seem to be given in the Bible to qualified men...The fact that men are called to lead local churches also doesn't mean that men are more important than women." As a female Baptist Minister I was horrified that I almost gave this book to my teenage daughter! If you hold the view of the author - that church pastors/elders should be male then this book will be great for you. If on the other hand you are fully supportive of female church leadership then my advice is steer clear of this book before it damages your child's view of the potential they have to serve Christ as a woman.
