| | Description | All the Good Stuff Happened Thousands of Years Ago ...
It would be easy to believe if a couple of seas suddenly parted or a few cities were destroyed with fire and brimstone, or people were able to walk on water. But after spending a jillion Sundays in church, teens haven't seen anything that would convince them that God is alive - much less that God cares about them personally.
In fact, nobody is giving clear, solid help in dealing with the really important questions of life - like, does God exist? What does God want from them? Does it matter if they're Catholic or not? Until now.
God, the first in the Prove It! series, answers the real questions they have about God, the Catholic Church, other religions, evolution, good and evil, and a whole lot of other things they never hear about in religion classes, Sunday sermons, or from their parents.
But don't take our word for it. Let them read Prove It! God and decide for themselves. What do they have to lose besides their doubts? | |

 Ignore the Aquinas Complaint Feb 18, 2010
Welborn uses Aquinas' logic and refers readers to him. The reviewer that says to ignore this book takes the sentence he quotes completely out of context.
I just bought several of Welborn's books for my daughters. I am reading them first and so far have found them to be clearly-written, a pleasure to read, and backed by solid theology, at least to the extent I am competent to judge.
Furthermore, this is my fourth year of participating in RCIA as a support person (I am also sponsoring someone this year), and I am going to recommend that we make copies of Welborn's books available for catechumens to read. Moreover, I have attended many Bible study sessions, and I think most of the people who have attended with me would find Welborn's books very enlightening.

 A Blatant Contradiction of Aquinas' Arguments Nov 17, 2008
Please do not buy this book if you are looking for arguments to prove God's existence. Buy Aquinas' "Summa Contra Gentiles" and read the original arguments set forth in Chapter 13. Welbourn says some things completely contradictory to Aquinas' own position. The one sentence that stands out to me: "Everything that exists has a cause. (33)" Well, if Welbourn thinks God exists, we can apply a little logic and deduce that God is caused as well! Obviously if we are trying to prove an uncaused cause, we cannot say that everything that exists has a cause. We can say rather that everything that is caused has a cause. The linchpin of Aquinas' arguments is the impossibility of an actual infinite regress; since motion and causation exist, there cannot be an infinite regress that makes their existence impossible. So we must posit a first unmoved mover, an uncaused cause. And this that we call "God" exists, contrary to what Welbourn seems to be claiming.
Unless I am completely mistaken in my reading, I would recommend avoiding this book for the sake of Aquinas.

Prove it God Nov 05, 2006
Fantastic. Buy this book if you deal with kids at any age group. Answers questions that even burgeouning adult Christians may have. A must read for any Christian evangelist, and anyone trying to spread the Word. Transcends its target audience, high school teens, indeed the toughest group going.

Great for teen and adult May 10, 2006
I bought this book for my teenage daughter, who had a lot of questions.
I pre read it before giving it to her and was quite pleased. The reading level was not to advanced or overly simplified. Amy Wellborn did a great job of taking some difficult concepts and explaining them very clearly.
Even if your kids are not into reading this book will give y ou a lot of information to explain things to them, or it can be used for just about any CCD/ Religious Ed class.
Keep in mind that this is not intended to be an all encompassing tome like the Summa Theologica of Aquinas, but for the average teen and pre teen this does a great job.

insightful Mar 30, 2006
My teen enjoyed this book. And even though I am in my 40's, I thoroughly enjoyed it also. I found it to be insightful and simply explained some concepts that can get confusing when confronted by a nonbeliever. Highly, highly recommended!
