Leading Kids to Jesus: How to Have One-on-One Conversations about Faith Book

I agree with what this book is arguing, but I found the way it argued it was difficult. The chief argument of the books is that the NT uses a rich array of metaphors and motifs from the OT to portray the event of the cross, not just one "atonement theory". I think this is the most accurate way to understand the NT's passages.

However, this argument is carried out in three very fast moving chapters that often feels quite choppy and in haste. The rest of the book looks at the history of atonement and ways of creatively communicating the atonement today. Those were good chapters, but they rest on the central argument that the motifs of the NT theologies warrant the liberty to use new metaphors to communicate the cross intelligibly as the Apostles did in the NT.

Again, while I agree with the argument of the book, it really needed to slow down on the discussion of NT passages and present a more comprehensive treatment of that first before moving on to the rest.
