Book Summary

Sooner or later, kids ask big questions about themselves and their faith: If God is real, why doesn't he feel real? How can I make him seem less far away? What does a relationship with Jesus actually look like? What about when going to church or reading the Bible just feels boring and pointless?

Christian Studies teacher and school chaplain Chris Morphew has been answering big questions from kids for over a decade. In this fun and fast-paced book, he shows children how to grow in their relationship with God through the ordinary yet powerful habits of everyday discipleship: prayer, Bible reading, church community, rest, and simplicity.

Lively stories and illustrations make this book easy for 9-13s to engage with. Readers will be helped to develop a vibrant, living, and life-altering faith of their own as they learn to walk with Jesus day by day. The discussion guide makes it a useful homeschool resource.

Chris Morphew has written over 20 books for children and youth, including Best News Ever, a 100-day devotional for tweens, and other titles in the Big Questions series.

Emma Randall has illustrated many books, including the Training Young Hearts series.
