Apologetics for Tweens
Tom released a 5th-8th grade Sunday School and Home
School curriculum, Apologetics for Tweens: How to save your children from doubts and unanswered questions about Christianity, in 2018, and currently has over 1000
implementations. Each curriculum year includes weekly scriptural and apologetics
lessons based on his teaching work over 16 years. The curriculum is published
by APG and targeted for Sunday School teachers, Christian private school teachers,
homeschool teachers, grandparents and anyone who is interested in introductory
apologetics. It is a unique combination of scripture and apologetics lessons in a formal
curriculum.
I’m very impressed with the Apologetics for Tweens curriculum produced by Thomas Griffin. The material is theologically sound, age appropriate and a great way to involve young people in learning why they believe what they believe. The material also helps children understand how to explain and defend Christianity to others. I’ve worked with children and youth for more than 45 years and highly recommend Apologetics for Tweens to Christian parents and teachers. — Mark McGee, Regional Director of Ratio Christi

Since then, he presented a several more times on his Apologetics for Tweens curriculum and at several regional homeschool 
conventions.
