As a Christian Mom of three growing kids, I often find myself praying that not only with all of my children have a strong faith of their own as they grow, but that they will take the moral and biblical values that we as parents have tried to teach them, into the world with them.

My son will be 14 this week, he is in 8th grade and from a young age (2nd grade) has had all manner of worldly influence from his peers come at him that has at times been difficult for him to overcome on his own.  

I have researched different types of Bibles and Study Guides to find resources that will help me teach him the necessity of keeping in touch with God, growing in his Faith and choosing to do what is right, good, honest and pure in a world filled with bad choices and peer pressure.

The Apologetics Study Bible for Students is a wonderful resource for him to use from now through College years and even beyond to help guide him as he grows physically, mentally and spiritually.
  He and I have both enjoyed reading the personal stories included in this indexed Bible. "Danny's Struggle" (page 777)  was one that he and I read together and were able to have a great conversation about what the Bible says and how to research for himself any questions he might have.

The video series that is also available featuring Sean McDowel have been an amazing way for he and I (and his father too) to spend time together watching then discussing what he learns or "gets" from the video series.

I personally love that as a High School Student my grandmother got me a book series by Josh McDowel that I still remember lessons from to this day.  Now my son gets the same type of benefit from the McDowel family with the video series by Sean McDowel.  I have loved sharing that I feel I am passing on my experience to my son and we are able to connect in a unique way through this resource material.  We plan to continue the series and hopefully will be able to share it with my daughters soon as well.

This Mom and Reviewer highly recommends both the Apologetics Study Bible for Students AND the Confident Faith Video series with Sean McDowel.
