Quick Answers to Social Issues

This book is an awesome resource to use with your preteens and teens! The answers might be 'quick,' but they are packed with so much insight and info. I love how they prepare our kids to deal with and respond Biblically to the social issues that are thrown at us. Not only that, but it has sparked some wonderful conversations with my kids. I highly, recommend this book.

I think this book is a must have for growing children in middle or high school. Sure you could assemble verses and arguments for them and teach them, but this could be a good tool to come back to and have when you need it. I like the page about judging. In our society where its scary to stand apart, we still need to be able to give an answer and this book can help with those big issues.

An excellent resource for anyone wanting a handy reference to why Christians believe what they do about many of the 'hot topic' social issues of today's world. This would also be a great guide for people working in youth groups or with young adults who are seeking answers.

Excellent and helpful. Teens and parents alike, we are facing these issues at an increasing rate, they are in our face almost everywhere! This is a trustworthy and helpful resource for us! Great for both the teen to read on their own, and for read-aloud and family conversations.

This book is great for explaining things from a Biblical view to my children that I just don't have the words for myself. Its very relevant for all that is happening in our world today.

Got this for my children to read when they are teens, but found myself thankful to have for myself as well. With the state of the world today, this book helps even myself remember where the truth truly lies. We can all be lead astray in thoughts, this was eye opening.

When I attended a conservative Bible college, I was totally immersed in an atmosphere where a strong biblical worldview was taught. And I was stunned when I realized how much my worldview was influenced by the culture - Even though my parents were strong Christians, I grew up in church, and I was homeschooled. Don’t just assume that your kids are getting a biblical worldview because they attend church and are out of public school. Use this book to inform your mind and your children’s minds on these issues. Even if you address these subjects in other ways with your kids, this book can still serve as a clear and concise reminder of what we believe on these issues and why.

In a culture where anything seems to go except for Gods truth, this book is a refreshing reminder that only in God's Word can we see the truth about social issues that surround us. This book helps to truthfully address many social issues that keep people in bondage to sin. It also helps enlighten the Christian so they would have a Biblical worldview on these social issues. I would highly recommend adding this to the Christian's library so they can be edified and also share the truth of God's Word in a relevant way. I also recommend it for the skeptic so they may better understand where Christian's are coming from on these issues.

Quick Answers to Social Issues is such a timely book. With so many Social Issues making the news on a daily basis recently, I greatly appreciated the information this book presented. So often, we know that something is wrong or we might feel that a movement is “not quite right”, but we have difficulty expressing exactly how we feel and know that. This book is the perfect resource. It explains each social issue and addresses the problems with the issue from the Bible and logic. I would highly recommend this book to all parents and especially to all teenagers and especially especially to all college bound seniors! These issues are not going away and it is a great resource to have to discuss with all who have questions about just what is happening in society today.

Are you looking for a resource that will help you navigate difficult topics that are hot button topics in today's world? Are you searching yourself for the Biblical response to some of these questions? What about abortion, cloning, racism, slavery, sexism, feminism, genocide.....

Master Books has added to the resources on how to handle these issues. I love the fact that this book is broken down into small sections and that issues are addressed through a Biblical Worldview that in and of itself is non-confrontational. I say this because every issue addressed in this book, by it's mere nature can be confrontational in the fact that emotions run deeply and indoctrination into our sub-culture and the world view of that sub-culture can make people defensive. However, this book systematically addresses the issue with the Bible. When some books on these types of things seem to be legalistic or denomination driven - this one is neutral and simply looks at what the Bible has to say.

The dedication of this books has this in the closing paragraph, "It's my prayer that God will use this book as a tool for His glory in equipping the saints to valiantly stand on God's Word, boldly defend their faith, and lovingly share the good news of Jesus Christ to a lost, confused and dying world!" - And that is precisely what I feel this book accomplishes in a gentle, graceful way; unapologetically Biblical yet not legalistic. In the end one is presented with the Biblical stand on the issue and one must weigh for oneself where you stand and what you believe and what you will stand for. But it gives the Believer the ability to boldly answer questions and to know exactly what the Bible teaches.

I will be giving this book as gifts to parents. New parents often need resources to have as they raise their own families - a way to teach them why they believe what they believe. Because if you were like me as a young parent I sometimes had difficulty articulating why it was that I believed something in a way that was gentle and filled with grace.

I was given a digital copy of this book in exchange for a review. My review is an honest review.
