Apologetics for Christian kids and tweens: what happens when we die?
Part of the Big Questions series.
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 an excellent series—seriously excellent! I am certain Chris Morphew’s chatty style, clear explanations, relevant illustrations and personal insights will engage, inform and equip tweens as they work through some of the big questions they and their peers will be asking. Rather than rattling off short, simplistic answers, the books allow the readers to question and unpack the evidence. I am delighted to see such great material being produced for those at a pivotal stage of life and have no doubt they’ll also be a fantastic resource for those working with this age group.
Questions about death can be hard to ask. And sometimes the answers aren’t clear or just don’t seem to ring true. Well, here comes Chris Morphew to help us! By taking us through the Bible’s answers to lots of our questions about death, he draws us to think about the world, God, what he is like, what we’re like—and why, when it comes to death, Jesus changes everything!
With engaging stories and scriptural truth, Chris Morphew lifts our eyes and hearts to see God, who is bigger than our biggest questions. His rescue mission through Jesus will not disappoint us!

My 11 yr old daughter and I read this together. We thought it explained things really well and we both learnt some things! It helped us to look forward to heaven and the new creation. My daughter liked the stories Chris told which helped us to understand things better. She particularly liked the chapters about heaven and how we get eternal life. The chapter about my friends who don’t know Jesus was also very helpful.
