Chris has a knack for making complicated things simpler, making confusing things make sense, and making everything fun. He takes your questions—and you—seriously and knows where you can find real, honest-to-God answers.
Maybe you’ve been singing songs about God, Jesus and the Bible since you were little. And maybe, over the years, you’ve had questions about whether the things you’ve been taught about Christianity are actually true. Or perhaps you’re hearing about Jesus for the first time, and you have questions about that too. Well, I think you’re going to love spending time with Chris Morphew in this book as together you dig up solid, helpful, satisfying answers to lots of questions—including some you didn’t even know you had.
Chris Morphew is like Tim Keller for teens. In this short book, he tackles some of today’s tough questions with Scripture, wisdom and clarity—and just the right amount of fun to keep young readers turning the page. I cannot wait to put this book into the hands of my three children.
Even though this book is only about 80 pages long Morphew did not skip a beat. His concise, powerful words were able to teach me in a way that I have never thought about Christianity. I loved the way you could clearly hear Morphew's writing voice in this book. I do not remember where exactly I read this, but someone said this is a Tim Keller book written for kids. I completely agree with that statement.... continue reading
The Big Questions series for middle graders respects their questions and offers answers with respect too. Throughout the series, the author (a teacher and school chaplain) connects with young readers with a conversational tone, excellent examples to explain his points, and—perhaps most important—a deep understanding of their questions.... continue reading
I bought this book to read to my 7 & 9 year old daughters, as they have recently had friends ask them about God, and also friends telling them that God isn't true.
This book is fantastic - even as an adult I learnt so much. It is written in really clear, child friendly language, and both my girls are really able to understand and engage with it. It would make a great gift too for any cynical friends of theirs who are open minded enough to read it.
Really engaging and tackle the difficult questions, thoughtful children have. Would also be happy recommending the series to adult young Christians.
