It’s back to school time, which usually means parents buy school supplies and start waking kids up earlier in the morning. But one elementary school just sent out a letter informing the parents that the school is welcoming a new family with a transgendered  "3rd grade girl." 

Earlier this week I had the privilege of interviewing author and speaker Josh McDowell for an upcoming article on his new book, Evidence for the Resurrection. Along with this apologetic for adult readers, he and his coauthor son, Sean, produced and released two accompanying books for younger readers: Jesus: Dead or Alive (for teens), and Jesus is Alive! (for children).
