How Can I Feel Closer to God?

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.

‘Adults aren't the only ones who often wonder why they don't feel anything towards God. Or why reading the Bible or going to church often seems so hard, boring, or pointless. Kids ask these questions, too! What should we do when we are feeling this way? What are we even supposed to feel? Chris Morphew is always so charitable and walks us through some really great questions about our friendship with God. He doesn't just give cliche answers but gives thoughtful and biblical responses along with helpful and practical tips that are rooted in grace.’ Lauren
