Book for teen on defending creationism?? - Christian Content!

NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE - PLEASE!! :)

 

Looking for something for dd13 to read next year. Something pleasant to read since this is a bit of a heavy subject. We believe in creation and I would like something to explain that more in depth to her. She has the basic foundation. I have looked at Ken Ham's The Lie and this seems to be my best choice so far. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

The Lie is certainly a good choice.

It might be worth it to look at the Answers book series, if you haven't been through those yet.

Also of interest might be The Great Turning Point. It explores how evolution replaced creationism in the church. (FYI, I have not read it myself.)

 

You may also just want to ask her to look through the available videos on AiG and pick out the ones whose topics interest her in particular.

"It Couldn't Just Happen" Lawrence O. Richards. Be sure to read the positive reviews. Amazon prominently displays the negative ones.

I read Darwin's Black Box ages ago and suspect the science in it might be a little dated today. William Dembski's books are better IMHO.

It's not a book, but True U by Focus on the Family might be a good resource: http://www.trueu.org/dvd-curriculum/does-god-exist.aspx.

The best books I've seen on the subject are by Dr. Carl Werner, who was challenged to provide irrefutable proof of evolution. He decided the challenge would be easy and after his attempt he found so much data to refute evolution that he had a major paradigm shift.

 

Evolution: the Grand Experiment

Living Fossils: Evolution, the Grand Experiment

 

Those are the two volumes. They appear rather text bookish, so it might be slightly heavy reading. BUT, there are also tons of quality photos and sidebars, etc to lighten the load.

We have never done a logic class. I realized my oldest is really stuck on being right. I want him to be able to stick up for his beliefs,in a logical respectable manner.So, you might consider that, as well.

The Christian Evidences Study Course from Apologetics Press is very good for teens.

This is driving me insane. I remember reading a preview of a book on this subject. The book was written by a gentleman who, I think, was a science teacher and was an evolutionist. I believe, he had been invited to a bible study with friends and ended up accepted creation. It was not too long of a book but I can not for the life of me remember it or find it!!! Any ideas??? Thanks for the other suggestions I am looking at each of them.

I second this! Very good book! I have had my two oldest read it, and now I am having my 9 yo start it because he keeps asking questions relating to this.

This was my coolest find. Answers in Genesis videos on most any topic you could desire. For adults: http://www.answersingenesis.org/media#/

for kids: http://www.answersingenesis.org/kids/videos

This is not young earth creationism (but not necessarily not young earth, definitely not evolution), but the best book I've read is Genesis Unbound. He goes verse by verse in the original Hebrew to show why God created Eden and man, and everything that went along with it. This is a book John Piper endorses, which is why I got it in the first place, and I've used it to answer any questions my kids have. It is short and easy to read.

Looks like a great website! I'll have to play around more on it later.

Footprints in the Ash is a great book: http://www.amazon.com/Footprints-Ash-Explosive-Story-Helens/dp/0890514003

 

It tells about how the Mt. St. Helens eruption shows evidence for a world-wide flood.

 

This might not be exactly what you're looking for but it is a pleasant read and very interesting.

 

It isn't a long book...your library might own it or be able to get it for you.

Another interesting book to consider is Explore Evolution. It's not Creationism, but rather written by intelligent design people. It goes through the major arguments for evolution giving the "case for" or how they explain it and the "reply" and more information to consider. Nicely laid out.

Yes! My son (13 yrs. old) REALLY enjoyed this book. It is organized well, written to a teenage audience, and has lots of interesting photos. Each chapter also has a handful of review questions and/or simple activities that add to the reading.

You could also read, It Couldn't Just Happen by Laurence O. Richards. We used this when studying Creation vs. Evolution this year.
