Written Especially for Ages 8–14, This Devotional Tackles 10 Important Questions About Growing in Faith

Everyone has questions about religion, but when you're young, finding the answers can be difficult. Some books are too complex and others don't dive deeply enough into the faith topics that matter most to kids and younger teens. So where can young readers go to grow in their understanding of God and his word?
 
The 10 Questions series invites children ages 8–14 to investigate spiritual questions and provides reliable theological and practical answers on their level. In this volume, professor William Osborne explains that being born again is only the beginning, and he answers questions about growing in faith, including  "How does prayer help me grow as a Christian?" "How do I handle feeling that I'm not good enough?" and  "How do hardship and sadness affect my growth as a Christian?"
 
Each 10 Questions book presents 10 vital questions about one important topic, exploring each question in 3 short devotions. Kids can work through the 30 readings in any order they choose. Written to be read alone or with family,  10 Questions About Growing in Christ is the perfect way for middle-grade readers to start or end each day reflecting on the things of God.
