Synopsis

With faith and testimony under increasing attack, parents can often be left wondering what they can do to help their children remain faithfully on the covenant path. Come as You Are by Samuel Norton, looks at some of the cultural aspects of membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and questions if those aspects of our lives are helping connect our youth and young adults to the Source of Redeeming Love. With the notion of creating “space,” readers will understand that the opportunities to connect with Jesus are limitless, if we will give our youth and young adults the tools and the “space” to do so their way.
Readers will understand that the “space” needed to connect with our Savior can be encroached upon by• the language we use• the lessons we teach• our discomfort with not having the answers• and our binary approach to life
Giving the rising generation the opportunity to connect with Jesus Christ isn’t about just making sure that they show up at church and attend activities every week. It’s about making sure they understand Christ stands willing to welcome them as they are. It’s about recognizing that He will perfect them in the process of time. It’s about helping them see that everyone can Come as They Are.

This was my first Dahlia Adler book, but it will most definitely not be my last. I had such a fun time! It was full of humour and chaos and I’m always a fan of a boarding school setting. The author did a great job with the main character Evie. She was relatable, witty and a big ball of sunshine. I j......more

This book was really great! Come As You Are was written so well and the writing style of the book was super memorable. There was a little confusion at the beginning of the book for me but that doesn't change the fact that I seriously enjoyed this book!......more
