My Faith

by Kurt Johnston and Mark Oestreicher

Book Overview

Deciding what you believe can be hard, especially when you're not entirely sure what your faith is even all about. My Faith works as a reference guide to break down who God is, what the Bible says and why we believe it, how to handle doubts and questions, and what it actually means to be a Christian. With over seventy short chapters that cover twelve major topics, you'll find honesty, understanding, advice, and wisdom to help you navigate your questions and make a decision on your own.

Middle school comes with a lot of challenges, and one of the biggest can be figuring out what you believe--and why. After all, being a Christian is hard sometimes, and it's even harder when you suddenly have questions and doubts you never had before. Thankfully, this book has answers on things like why God wants a relationship with us, what the Bible actually tells us (and exactly why people believe what it says), what to do when you have those doubts or make a "mistake," and what exactly being a Christian means for your life. There are also some tips and ideas on finding your own connection with God and applying what you personally believe to your life--helping you navigate middle school more confidently.

Customer Reviews

Great for Middle Schoolers!

This is definitely a great book for Jr Highers (Middle Schoolers) who are learning about what it means to be a follower of Jesus! I use it in a Sunday School class, and the students seem to really be receptive and appreciate the small chapters! I would recommend this to anyone! Great resource!

Very Pleased

This book was purchased used and arrived in great condition. Shipping was very prompt. Our son will be reading it for a future school book report. He enjoyed reading another book from this series. I was very satisfied with this transaction!

Speaks kids' language.

I bought this series for my jr. high girls small group and we have all enjoyed it. The personality of the authors shines through and even the written words seem full of high energy, enthusiasm, and yet makes points that jr. high minds can easily grasp. Chapters don't have to be read in order which lets reading through a whole book not get routine or dull. Chapter titles are eye catching and interesting. I recommend it for middle school/jr. high youth boys or girls.
