Forensic Faith for Kids and Case Makers Academy from David C Cook



Teaching your children how to investigate and defend their beliefs is one of the most important duties we have as parents.  We have been using Forensic Faith for Kids and Case Makers Academy from David C Cook to teach us how to investigate and defend our faith.

Forensic Faith for Kids is written by J. Warner and Susie Wallace.  I first heard J. Warner Wallace speak at a homeschool convention, and I was immediately a huge fan!  He is a former cold-case detective with a background that includes being featured on Dateline, Fox News and other crime-related shows.  His books - Cold-Case Christianity, God's Crime Scene and Forensic Faith are some of our family favorites.

In Forensic Faith for Kids, J. Warner teams up with his wife Susie to bring the message to a level for our  children  ages 8-12.   They introduce Biblical truth through a fictional story that follows young police cadets in their search to find where Bailey (a sweet corgi puppy) has come from, and follows their interactions with a friend who is questioning the facts about Jesus and faith.  Along the way, the cadets learn how to defend their beliefs through careful investigation and communication.

Throughout the book there are sidebars to the story that give extra activities:  
  • CSI assignments - where the reader is directed back to scripture


  • Dig Deeper - a reminder to visit the online academy for more activities


  • Detective Definitions - where police terms are explained 

  • Tools for your Detective Bag - that encouragement to apply the lessons to daily life
 


My testers loved reading this book.  My older children used his Forensic Faith book/dvd study last year.  They are both excellent resources to help your children discover what they believe, and why.  The point of the book is to get your child to really examine their beliefs and be equipped to share and defend them.

Case Makers Academy is an online,  FREE resource you can use alongside the book. 



It contains 10 sections with short videos, downloadable activity pages like word finds, puzzles and more, fill-in-the-blank note sheets to go with each chapter and a leader's guide. 




This is an excellent way to turn the book into a full study. I would make an excellent choice for your co-op or Sunday school too!   We enjoyed watching J. Warner Wallace's videos, they really make the points from the book stick in our mind. The printable make a great notebook, and you can print out completion certificates/badges when you finish.



We highly recommend this book, you will want to check out the entire series!  Take a peek at this short video too:
