My latest review is of the book, "Why God? (Big Answers About God and Why We Believe in Him)", written by Dan Dewitt. "Why God?" is a children's book, and it deals with the basic question of why believe in God.
Why God? was illustrated by Christine Grove, and the pictures are really well done. The book is very colorful, and the pictures are cutesy (my word). There is a picture of the earth drawn as a smiling face...you can't get more cute than that!
The story is about a brother and sister who ask their mother, why they believe in God, after one of the brother's friends says he doesn't believe in God. The last part of the story is dedicated to the mom answering the children's question. The author uses a simple form of "apologetics" to answer the question of why believe in God. The mother in the story introduces God as creator, and also goes into a little bit of detail about how sin entered the world.
I think this book is a good way to introduce young children to the "Why God" question. I would read this book to my own children, and to my preschool class. B&H Publishing gave me a complimentary copy of this book, and I in turn agreed to write this review.
