Before Bridge to Terabithia, The Great Gilly Hopkins, and Jacob Have I Loved, Katherine Paterson wrote this book, an exploration for middle-school-age readers of what it means to be a child of God.Within the context of biblical teaching and the Christian faith, Katherine Paterson discusses basic questions that she herself has grappled with for a long time: * Where in the world is God? * What about me? * Where do I belong? * Who is my neighbor? * What is my purpose? Paterson relates significant experiences from her own life as well as many other stories showing how God loves us and leads us through life's challenges. This new edition includes questions for reflection and discussion with each chapter that will be useful for readers and leaders alike.
