The Answers Book for Kids #4
Sin, Salvation, and the Christian Life
Volume 4 - Sin, Salvation, and the Christian Life includes answers to the following questions:
* Why did God create people when He knew they would sin?
* Could God have forgiven our sin without the suffering of Jesus?
* Will God keep me safe from Satan's fallen angels?
* When a soldier is in war and he kills someone, is he breaking God's commandments?
* When we get to heaven, we have to be perfect up there or whatever. Doesn't that mean our personalities will be changed and everyone will be the same?
* Why does God let the bad guys win sometimes?
* Why isn't Satan the first sin instead of Adam & Eve?
* If God is perfect and there was no sin, then where did the sin come from that entered into Lucifer's heart when he became vain?
* Why do animals die? We are the ones who sinned, so why are they punished? They didn't do anything wrong.
* If I am God's child, then why doesn't He keep me from being sick or hurt here on earth?
* If God can control anything, why did He let the tsunami hit and so many people get hurt? Did He create the tsunami?
* Why did Cain kill Abel?
* What happens to the people who died before Jesus came? Are they in heaven or hell?
* Did Adam and Eve go to heaven?
* What is heaven like? Are there really mansions? Will I stay ten forever?
* How will I know what to do when I go to heaven?
* What does being "born again" mean?
* When Jesus comes back, why will all nature (mountains, trees, rocks, etc.) bow down to Him and how will they do that?
* Why did Jesus preach in the Middle East and not America?
* Did God cry when Jesus died?
* If Satan changed everything by tricking Eve, how do I know Jesus can keep me safe for him?
* How do we know other religions aren't true?

About the author
Ken Ham
236 books361 followersDr. Ken Ham is the president of Answers in Genesis USA and is a well-known speaker and author on the subject of Young-Earth Creationism. He received a bachelor degree in applied science (emphasis on environmental biology) from the Queensland Institute of Technology, and a Diploma of Education from the University of Queensland. He has also received two honorary doctorates: a Doctor of Divinity from Temple Baptist College, and a Doctor of Literature from Baptist Liberty University.
He was a director of Creation Science Foundation (CSF) in Australia, an organization which he jointly founded with John Mackay. In 1987 he moved to the United States, still maintaining his links with CSF.
From 1987 to 1993, Ham worked for the Institute for Creation Research, and in 1994 set up what in 1995 became Answers in Genesis (AiG), a creation ministry dedicated to "upholding the authority of the Bible from the very first verse."
In 2008 Ham was described by well known atheist and evolutionary biologist PZ Myers as a "Wackaloon" for carrying out a prayer session with members of the Pentagon. Ham responded regarding the validity of that prayer breakfastand that PZ Myers and other critics were intolerant of his position.

Out of the first four volume in the Answers Book for Kids series by Ken Ham this is probably my favorite one thus far, exceeding my delight of the third volume. A big reason is the topic of book four: Sin, Salvation and the Christian life. These themes are related to the Gospel and one can never go wrong with going over the Gospel to one’s children!
While other books in this series does talk about the Gospel this book is even more explicit with the Gospel given the book’s main topic. I also enjoyed this topic of this book more because while some of the questions in the other volume might have answers that are less certain or even at times when Ken Ham answered but also rightly informed the readers we don’t know for sure or we don’t know at all, a book on the topic of the Gospel is one of the Bible’s more certain subject and what God has clearly revealed in Holy Writ. But it also allows readers to stay focus of why we are reading these answers book series in the first place: for the salvation of the readers and edification those who are saved to grow in their salvation (Christian life). Questions in this book include “Could God forgive our sins without the suffering of Christ?,” “What does being ‘born again’ mean?” and “Why does God let the bad guys win sometimes?” Again I recommend this book.

While it is true that much of our theological foundation stems from the Genesis account, this book is best when dealing with questions more directly related to Genesis. The questions are pretty engaging, but I think that is because this book seems to feature "older"/ more mature questions that are regularly discussed among adults. And therein lies the problem with the brief format. The answers to these deep, substantial inquiries are short and somewhat less satisfying to an adult mind. In addition, there are many other resources that are dealing with these questions, making this one not as unique.
I am extremely pleased with the first two installments of this series. They make a unique contribution to our thinking and are focused on the specific questions that arise from a study of Genesis. However, I could have passed on the last two, including this one. But, since we have it, I will keep it and use it, though not as intentionally as the first two.
