Where can we get good resources to help children answer difficult questions about faith?

It is a good question. The challenge to defend and confirm the Christian faith begins in childhood.

Figures in the UK and the USA indicate that we lose a significant number of our young people beyond the teenage years. Research led by Britt Beemer for America’s Research Group surveyed the views of over 1,000 20-somethings who no longer attend the Bible-believing churches of their childhood. They also provided statistics that suggest 61% of teens in church would no longer attend church in adulthood. One of the clearest reasons for this adult rejection of a childhood faith is that they no longer thought the message to be objectively true.
