Introducing "Like or Follow"

A brand-new book for the teenager in your life

Jan 29, 2024

When it comes to helping teenagers start or grow in their faith, there doesn't seem to be as much readily available content as in the well-resourced Christian children’s market. This lack becomes even more apparent when searching for material suitable for those with very little or no faith background.

This is why the mission of Kleer Series was born back in 2016, when I co-founded a video-based resource that went on to be used in thousands of churches around the world and has garnered over three-quarters of a million views on YouTube. A few years on from that launch, I am excited to announce a brand-new book, "Like or Follow," for the teenagers in your life.

If you are tired of searching through old-fashioned or disjointed material, then "Like or Follow" offers a fresh approach to introducing young people to Christ.

Many parents, youth workers, and church leaders worry that their teens are simply 'going through the motions' in their own walk with Jesus even if they have grown up in a church community. They are also looking to engage new people with the good news in a way that is relevant for today’s complex world. Every caring adult wants the next generation to develop their own faith. They want them to understand how relevant Christ actually is and to have the strength and conviction to follow him independently.

What is "Like or Follow" all about?

No one divides opinion like Jesus. Whatever your first impression of the most famous person in history, many young people claim he is still relevant to their lives today. This simple introduction to Jesus for the curious will help you explore why so many people build their lives around his teaching. You’ll be introduced to the facts and evidence about Jesus and discover how he can reframe your world with hope and purpose.

The book is a short simple read aimed at those aged 12 plus with:

· Easy to understand language

· Relevant stories and illustrations

· Discussion questions and a QR video after each chapter

· Use it on its own or as a group resource

It is ideal for:

· Teens who think they've heard it all before

· Teens who haven't heard any of it before

· Parents, Youth workers, Church leaders and Summer Camp leaders

Here’s what others have said about "Like or Follow"

“Like or Follow is a breath of fresh air for a generation of young people who’ve never thought about Jesus as anything more than a swear word or distant historical idea.”

Josh Green, Youth Director, 24-7 Prayer

“A must buy for any young person starting their adventure with Jesus.”

Emma Owen, Head of Youth Engagement, Message Trust

Young people are already loving it!

“If you’re interested in learning about God and the Christian faith this book is perfect for that. It’s funny, humorous, informative and great for any teenager.”

Brooke Gamble, Age 15, UK

I loved this next endorsement from a brilliant young person called Nina as it summarises the heart of the book as being relevant not just for those new to the faith, but those that want to make faith their own:

"I’ve never read such clear messaging about what it means to be a Christian and how to think through what I believe and why. The author encourages teens to think deeply about who Jesus is and provides specific ways to connect with him. He breaks everything down using engaging examples, and after reading this book, I not only feel deeply committed to my own journey, but I’m more excited than ever to talk to my friends and family about the ideas and questions presented throughout the book.

I’ve always shared my parents’ faith, and that’s been great, but this book has helped me confidently take ownership of my journey. It feels like the author really understands the struggles and thoughts of teens and how to make complex ideas easily understandable. I especially appreciated how he related biblical concepts to current events, people, and ideas that teens think about and can relate to. I highly recommend this book for any teens looking to learn more about Jesus or strengthen their relationship and understanding of who he is."
