"It is imperative that theologically conservative, gospel-centered churches get serious about teaching faith-affirming apologetics, especially for their young people. As revealed in our eye-opening book Already Gone, children start becoming skeptical about the Bible almost as soon as they start hearing that “science” has proven Scripture to be wrong—and that’s early!
"Undermining the Bible usually begins in cartoons that talk about millions of years. Evolution is actually affirmed by well-intentioned Sunday school teachers whose curricula avoid teaching what the Bible reveals regarding Creation and the Flood. By the time they’re teens, young people are so hardened against the trustworthiness of the Bible that they stop believing in Jesus—and many never return. In addition, their friends, teachers, and the media tell them every day that the Bible is simply a bunch of moral stories. Young people understand that if that is true, then the gospel message is a lie, and faith in Jesus is futile.
"It is with that reality in mind that AiG has written a book series especially for teens. Please consider the teens in your life. They've been lied to."
