With the release of my newest book on teaching apologetics and worldview to the next generation (So The Next Generation Will Know with J. Warner Wallace), I decided to update the list of top apologetics resources for students. There are many more quality resources than this, but here are a few of my favorites:

BIBLES:

1. The Apologetics Study Bible for Students. This Bible has quick answers to the top 130+ questions students have about God, the Bible, ethics, and other religions, as well as many other apologetics features spread throughout its pages.

CONFERENCES:

1. Summit Ministries: A life-changing 12-day worldview training experience for students in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

2. Re-Think: Weekend apologetics conferences tailored uniquely for students featuring leading apologists, thinkers, and influencers.

3. Impact 360 Immersion: Two-week summer worldview and apologetics experience for high school students in Pine Mountain, Georgia.

4. Wheatstone Academy: One-week worldview experience designed to help students ask deep, meaningful questions, think Christianly about the arts and culture, and cultivate their own faith.

2. Cold Case Christianity (J. Warner Wallace)

3. Is God Just a Human Invention? (McDowell & Morrow)

4. The Defense Never Rests: Student workbook to go along with training material from William Lane Craig (ages 10-16).

5. Understanding the Times: High school worldview curriculum for the Christian school classroom.

6. I Don’t Have Enough Faith to be An Atheist: Curriculum created by Frank Turek to go along with his classic book.
