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.
Emma Randall has illustrated many books, including Diary of a Disciple.
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 is a great read and may answer the question that you want answers to. However, the book doesn't tell you what happens if you were to die tomorrow. It talks about what happens when we're dead, and then on resurrection day we are brought back to life. This also leads to more questions that you want answered as well. For example, what's going to happen to all the people who speak different languages, have different cultures and traditions, but follow God?

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.
