A New Me

Paperback.
By Edwin Roy Jones

If you have 10-14s on the edge of church activities (particularly those in challenging circumstances), and would love for them to take the good news home with them, this book is the perfect fit for you.

Jess is bullied at school and has a difficult home life. When the landlord threatens them with eviction, Jess and her family start a new life in a new place. Jess has never been to church, and has no wish to, but after going to the church youth club with a new friend, she begins to think about things differently. The book isn’t just about Jess’ spiritual life – while she’s working through this, she and her friends foil a cockfighting gang! The gospel is openly talked about in this book, but in a sensitive way that will open up readers’ hearts to the possibility that becoming a Christian is actually something they could do, and not as weird as they might think.

The format is dyslexia friendly, so great for anyone who finds reading difficult. There are discussion questions for this book for you to use
