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.

Katherine Paterson has won the Hans Christian Andersenaward, the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, two NewberyMedals, two National Book Awards, the Boston Globe/HornBook Award, and numerous other awards for her writings.Among her many published books are Bridge to Terabithia,The Great Gilly Hopkins, Jacob Have I Loved, andLyddie. An ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church(USA) and a former schoolteacher, she grew up in China,served as a missionary to Japan, and is the mother of fourgrown children.

Walter Wangerin Jr.
"So forthright, faithful, clear, common, and honest that any young people who read it will find themselves as much consoled as challenged."

School Library Journal
"[Paterson] explores the concept of self in a difficult world with grace and thoughtfulness. . . Young adults who are struggling with major issues in their understandings of Christianity . . . will find comfort in her words."
