What's Up: 30 Encouragements to Fuel Your Faith

A boundary-breaking devotional for 7-11 years that aims to help children know who they are in Christ.

There are so many distractions in life and it's easy to look for answers in all the wrong places, yet this book is an encouragement to look towards Jesus - no matter what's up!

Engaging and fun, easy to read and accessible to all, the hopeful and reassuring words within this book tackle topical issues that young people face. Filled with inspiring Bible verses, purposeful prayers and space to reflect, What's Up facilitates spending time with God and helps to explore our God-given identity. The fun style of the book is eye-catching, and uses a range of engaging, child friendly graphics to bring to life the real-life stories told. This devotional also includes fun facts, challenges and opportunities to reflect and grow.

Based on a range of experiences, Joanna has shared 30 encouragements that speak directly to some of the adventures and setbacks that tweens face as they grow and walk along their path in life. Whether it is reassuring those who lack confidence and are feeling left out, those facing challenging and uncertain choices, or young readers who need reminding that they are important, valuable and heard, the very personal voice of Joanna shines through the pages of this book, supporting, guiding and encouraging readers, whilst being open and honest-rather like a big sister.

Joining Joanna, in cheering all readers on and offering encouragements from their own unique perspectives, are some of Joanna's friends - Rhys Stephenson (TV presenter), Emma Borquaye (Girlgotfaith), Pete Sheath (Creative media director) and Tracy Wood (Salvation Army Children's worker).

What's up is also available as an eBook, and an audiobook with the devotional content read by the author herself, so enabling even the most reluctant of readers to engage with the content.
