Lee Strobel is an excellent apologist. The young reader's editions of his adult novels are the perfect mix of theology and ease of reading. They are not watered down versions of adult theology. Many adults would benefit from these young reader's editions. Simplicity in understanding does not equate to minimizing the content or oversimplifying complex thinking.

This is an inspiring and thoughtful book on the top of the after life, I think it would be good for a young person to read along with an adult or to discuss it with afterwards.

I really loved The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition by Lee Strobel. In The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition Mr. Strobel does his best to answer if Heaven is real. Through his journalistic perspective, he tackles the question head on with research and interviews. I have read many books by Mr. Strobel, but this is the first book that I have read by him that is geared towards kids. The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition is written with the same approach as the previous books I have read by Mr. Strobel. Mr. Strobel writes from a journalistic perspective with lots of research and interviews in order to get answers to whatever questions he has. In The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition, it’s no different. The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition is full of research and interviews to tackle the question of whether Heaven exists. Though the topic of Heaven’s existence is heavy, he breaks down the in way 8-12 year olds can understand. Mr. Strobel has questions at the end of each chapter to help the reader understand and process what they have just read.

I highly recommend The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition by Lee Strobel. While it answers the questions about Heaven’s existence, there are some questions we will not be able to answer this side of Heaven. I like how Mr. Strobel broke his research down and wrote it in a way 8-12 year olds can understand. I believe Mr. Stobel thoroughly researched the topic and it shows in his writing. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. My review is also on Goodreads.

As a mom of three, I’ve had to tackle the question “what will heaven be like?” on more than one occasion. Luckily for me, The Case for Heaven Young Reader’s Edition by Lee Strobel astutely addresses not just this question but so many others about heaven in this thought provoking book.

Relying on the truths found in the Bible and interviews with a wide array of experts, scholars, and theologians, this book tackles some of the major questions children (and adults!) have about heaven: how to get there, will their pets be there, and who will be in heaven with them. Easy to read, this book is both a book a child could read to themselves or as an engaging read aloud for the whole family. My family greatly enjoyed this reading book together and came away more knowledgeable about heaven and where we go after our time on earth ends. Includes a lovely chapter with Strobel’s favorite verses on the subject of heaven. Engaging questions at the end of each chapter provides a jumping off point for parents and teachers to engage in more in depth conversations.

This book is a must read for any Christian with curious children who want to know more about what the Bible and science say about heaven!

Many thanks to Zonderkidz and Net Galley for this digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I think this is a book best read by a child and adult together so they can discuss it and answer any questions. The book is well done though I would think it might be hard for an 8 year old to understand.

I found this book to be very informative, and written in a very objective and non-judgmental way. While parents raising children in a particular religion may opt for books that are written from that perspective, I think this book is also a really good choice for introducing the concept of Heaven and belief systems to young readers. It could prompt some really good discussions about one's own religion/beliefs and also help encourage empathy and understanding for the beliefs of others.

Thanks to Netgalley and Zonderkidz for granting me this book to read.

As an adult have you ever had questions about heaven and what happens after death? Even though I have a pretty solid faith I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a question or two. Now imagine you are a child and have these questions. Where do you go for the answers? As a parent I wish this book had been around when my kids were little and had questions about heaven.

For the most part I think this book is well done but I think it's important to point out that this book is written for kids between the ages of 8-12. The book is both historical and fact based but any child younger might not be able to process the information.

The one thing this book does well is provide hope and answers questions that all of us have had at some point in our lives. I think the best way for a child to read this is with an adult with likeminded views to help with any questions.

Lee Strobel as a journalist does a terrific job in this book and I will read whatever he writes because of his background in journalism.

Apologies but I can't leave a proper review for this book as there is no option for downloading to Kindle which is the device I use for reading electronic books. I should have noted this before requesting an advance copy. This was my own error. I am leaving this book four stars on the basis that I would give three stars for a book which I would be neutral about normally. I am adding a further star on the basis of my knowledge of Lee Strobel's other books and ministry which I have benefitted from. Apologies once more.

This was really intriguing.
Unfortunately it was a little bit too on the 'religious side' for me.
However, I did really like the sections at the end of the chapters for deeper thinking. These would make interesting debate topics or journal prompts.
I liked these questions more than the chapters themselves due to the heavily religious nature.

Lee Strobel returns to this series with a bee entry for young readers (and older ones, too). Inspiring and well-written, with hopefulness.
