As a youth leader one of the most common questions (most recently asked at youth camp a couple of months ago) is “How can I feel closer to God?”.  You can know about God but what does a relationship with God actually look like? 

Our Teen Pick for EQUIP23 is How Can I Feel Closer to God?  It’s the latest book in the Big Questions series by Chris Morphew, and once again he gives a good answer to the big question in a conversational, engaging and easy to read way.

It’s the book I wish I had when I was a teen (many years ago!) to help me understand what a relationship with God looks like. Morphew highlights how we need to make time to form habits in order to feel closer to God and then gives practical ways to help do that. These include making time for God, prayer, Bible reading and connecting with God’s people to follow Jesus together. 

How Can I Feel Closer to God? is a go-to book for preteens, teens and even adults! It’s a helpful read for those who aren’t yet followers or are new to Jesus as it gives an understanding of what the Christian life looks like. It’s also a great read for those who have been followers for a while as it encourages them to draw closer to God.

“This book was useful in how to become closer to God and knowing who he really is versus what I thought he is like. He’s our friend, Father, Saviour and more personal than I thought he was.” Aimee, Year 7.

To coincide with our annual conference, EQUIP Picks are 10 great reads, chosen and reviewed by the EQUIP Women Team for women.
