Description
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?
