Who Am I and Why Do I Matter?: (Helps Christian youth grow in faith and confidence by looking at what the Bible says about identity) Paperback – March 1, 2022

This is a really great book for young adults. I read it myself and it was an interesting and engaging read and very simplified with large print. Just about any kid no matter the reading level can get through this and get something out of it.

I really love the books that the Goodbook Company put out. I noticed the cover on this one was so cool looking. My kids really like reading a lot of entertainment books like Dogman, Captain Underpants etc. I thought Morphew's book looked cool and knowing who published it, I bought the whole set. My son read it in an hour, and he was so excited he told about the whole book and said I had to read it. So I did as well it was fantastic and engaging. I wish I could I have read it read it when I was that age. Who I am and why I matter, is a question we all struggle with. Morphew answers those questions with the gospel in a great practical way. I have given about 60 of them to other people. Its really a worthwhile book to experience with your kids, their friends and church.

I bought this to read with 7th grade students, but it's a great read for tweens and up. Chris Morphew writes in an interesting way that kept us engaged and reminded us that God loves each of us for who we are, and ultimately what others think of us aren't important. It was a nice, easy read for my students and myself.

I bought this book as something I want to give my daughter when she gets older (she's still a toddler) because these questions are bound to rise up in her head, and they sure did in mine in my youth. I wish I read this book as a child, but even as an adult, it was a great read. I'm so grateful to have found it now and can help my children find answers in the future. I'm going to go through more of this author's books, they look excellent.

Such a perfect book for my preteen daughter. Gives her lots of answers that she had questions about. Puts a focus on Jesus instead of ourselves.

Bought for my little daughter who loves to read, she love to learn about our creations. Highly recommended

Great discussion starter with my grandson who is a new Christian and struggling a little, feeling misunderstood.

How can you help your kids discover their identity in Christ? In Who Am I and Why Do I Matter? Chris Morphew helps kids grow in faith and confidence by looking at what the Bible says about their identity. Written for 9-13 year olds, this is a simple yet helpful book that answers some of life’s biggest questions.True FreedomMorphew starts the book with the second question in the title: Why Do I Matter? He says that this is actually an issue of significance. He breaks down why chasing money, looks, and achievements will ultimately fail us. These are issues that we all struggle with, but Morphew comes at them from an angle that will resonate with his readers.He then takes on the first question in the title: Who Am I? He comes to the conclusion that our individual selves are deeply influenced and shaped by others. This causes us to search for love, acceptance, and significance as we figure out who we are and how we should live. Morphew shares that the Apostle Paul found the answer to true freedom, and it came from finding his identity in who God said he was.Tethered to the BibleSimple yet convincing illustrations from Morphew’s own life help to get his points across, but I most appreciated how he stays tethered to the Biblical text for his proofs. He helps the readers see their need for ultimate reality, so figuring out who God is will help us figure out who we are. We were never meant to invent our own identities, and following God and his ways will help us find true freedom. We are made in the image of God, and created with the purpose of glorifying him.Morphew acknowledges that we are broken people, but he makes it clear that God is love and that he loves us. In Jesus, there is life. Prayer, reading the Bible, and resting in him are the pathways of living in his love. This is not a book on discipleship, but it gives you a great place to start.Show Your Kids ChristWhat I loved the most about this book is that it does not talk down to the intended audience. It takes the questions seriously and comes from the perspective of wanting to help young people become believers. With winsome words and warm writing, this book is a blessing and will show your kids Christ.I received a media copy of Who Am I and Why Do I Matter? and this is my honest review.
