Al ir creciendo mis hijos más me interesan este tipo de contenidos. Creo que la fe no debe estar peleada con la razón y siempre debemos estar preparados para dar respuestas a sus preguntas. Tanto si tienes hijos muy curiosos y preguntones, como si tienes hijos que no se hacen preguntas a sí mismos, te invito a enseñarlos a cuestionarse lo que les decimos, lo que leen, lo que les enseñan, lo que creen. Para conocer esto, la mejor manera es conversando, preguntando, escuchando. Este es un recurso que te puede ayudar a iniciar conversaciones de verdad y fe para saber lo que tus hijos o adolescentes a tu alrededor creen. Lo que no me gustó mucho es que hace muchas referencias a libros o programas que no he visto, entonces no las relacioné tan bien, pero es un punto que otros padres consideran positivo porque los adolescentes lo comprenden y asimilan mejor. Si te lo preguntas, los íconos de la portada representan los temas tratados en el libro.

Algunos temas tratados son: los beneficios de la vida cristiana, diversidad, esclavitud, rasismo, relativismo, verdad, evangelismo, identidad humana, hitler, stalin, mortalidad, aborto, evidencias de la resurrección, verdadero vs literal, origenes de la ciencia, controversias de fe, científicos cristianes actuales, matrimonio, sexo, soltería, amistad, atracción al mismo sexo, pornografía, abuso, género, feminismo, transgenero, identidades no binarias, sufrimiento, oración, propósito, cielo, infierno, pecado, juicio, salvación...

As my children grow up, I am more interested in this type of content. I believe that faith should not be at odds with reason and we must always be ready to answer your questions. Whether you have very curious and wondering children, or if you have children who do not ask themselves questions, I invite you to teach them to question what we tell them, what they read, what they teach them, what they believe. What I did not like very much is that it makes many references to books or programs that I have not seen, so I did not relate them so well, but it is a point that other parents consider positive because adolescents understand and assimilate it better. To know this, the best way is by talking, asking, listening. This is a resource that can help you start conversations of truth and faith to know what your children or adolescents around you believe. Some topics covered are the benefits of the Christian life, diversity, slavery, racism, relativism, truth, evangelism, human identity, Hitler, Stalin, mortality, abortion, evidence of the resurrection, true vs literal, origins of science, controversies of faith, current Christian scientists, marriage, sex, singleness, friendship, same-sex attraction, pornography, abuse, gender, feminism, transgender, identities or binaries, suffering, prayer, purpose, heaven, hell, sin, judgment, salvation. ..

This is such an important tool to disciple the next generation!”
