Sooner or later, kids have big questions about God, life, faith, and the Bible, especially when their friends start asking them about what they believe. A common one is: What happens when we die?
Big questions deserve good answers. This warm, empathetic book looks at what the Bible says to help 9-13s think through this big question for themselves. It tackles common fears and stereotypes about the afterlife, and will excite readers about the promise of the new creation. Lively stories and illustrations make this book easy for this age group to engage with.
Christian studies teacher and school chaplain Chris Morphew has been answering big questions from kids in his classroom for over a decade. He has written over 20 books for children and youth, including Best News Ever, a 100-day devotional for tweens.
Emma Randall has illustrated many books, including the Training Young Hearts series.
What Happens When We Die? is part of the Big Questions series: fun and fast-paced books walking kids aged 9-13 through what the Bible says about some of the big questions of life, and helping them to grow in confident and considered faith.
(Review written for 'What Happens When We Die?')
The book more answered "What happens when we're dead?" than "What happens when we die?" but the information given was very interesting and helpful.
(Review written for 'What Happens When We Die?')
It was a pretty good book. I found all the stuff about heaven interesting, but I wished the short-term events (immediately after you die) were addressed instead of the long-term ones.
(Review written for 'What Happens When We Die?')
I'm in year ten and we had to choose a book written by Chris Morphew. I chose 'What Happens When We Die '". I found this book very interesting but also I found some parts difficult, and I had questions at the end that were still unanswered. This book was still very interesting, and I enjoyed learning about other people's perspectives towards what happens when we die.
