The teen years can be a confusing time of figuring out where you belong, who you are, what you can do, and who you can become, all while searching for a sense of safety as you engage with the world. In All I Am, these core needs of belonging, identity, ability, purpose, and security are explored through God’s traits in the Bible, showing listeners 13 and up that the great I AM not only meets our needs because of all the amazing things he is but how we also embody those traits because we are his children.
Inside All I Am are 90 devotions from a Catholic perspective that use conversational language to apply God’s truth to your life through relatable examples and real-world applications, each helping you think, act, and be like Jesus and grow your faith and self-esteem.

- Scripture from the NRSV edition
- “Digging Deeper” and “Rest and Remember” features for deeper daily or weekly reflection

- Original and traditional Catholic prayers that help you easily connect with God every day
All I Am is perfect for:

About the Author:
Caroline Pignat is the two-time Governor Generalʼs Award winning author of seven novels including Egghead, Greener Grass, The Gospel Truth and Shooter.
At age 16, she wrote a short story for her Writer's Craft class assignment and the seed of that idea never left her. Years later, it became Greener Grass, winner of the 2009 Governor General’s Award for Children’s Literature. In 2015, Caroline won her second Governor General’s Award for The Gospel Truth -- a free verse novel told in six voices.
Apparently, there are a lot of voices in her head. We meet five more of them in Caroline's latest novel, Shooter, winner of the 2017 Red Maple Award. Like Caroline says, everyone has a story to tell -- all we have to do is tune in and listen up.
She lives, writes, and teaches in Ottawa.
