Devotions for the Childrens Hour
by Kenneth N. TaylorPrepare your children to stand strong in this age of questions and contradictions. David and Goliath. Noah and the ark. Jonah and the whale. Children love stories of Bible characters. Yet they need more than just the stories. They need to understand the truths that lie behind these stories. Truth that will answer tough questions such as: Who is God? What if I'm a Christian and I still sin? What does God want me to do? Why did Jesus have to die? How will I know if others love Jesus? For many years, Ken Taylor has been giving children this biblical foundation through his books. While containing profound truth, they are written in simple and plain language that kids can understand. Full of stories and straight talk and complete with suggested Bible reading, questions for thought, relevant prayers, and songs to sing, Devotions for the Children's Hour will give your children the head start they need to stand on the Rock of Salvation in this shaky world.

Devotions to Take You Deeper (2:52)
by Ed StraussPerfect for boys ages 8 to 12, the 2:52 series is based on Luke 2:52: "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." Focusing on four primary areas of growth, this guiding verse can help boys become more like Jesus mentally (smarter), physically (stronger), spiritually (deeper), and socially (cooler). From Bibles and devotionals to fiction and non-fiction, with plenty of gross and gory mixed in, there is something for every boy. Devotions to Take You Deeper helps boys ages 8 to 12 tackle the spiritual aspect of growing up the way Jesus did as described in Luke 2:52. In the humorous, cheeky, and sometimes gross style that makes the 2:52 series so engaging and fun, this 90-day devotional guides boys in developing their faith. It explores many facets of spiritual growth, such as Bible study, worship, and prayer. It also warns of the dangers of harboring bitterness, storing up treasures on earth, and worrying all the time. Combining important principles with practical messages, the book teaches lessons boys need to learn and helps them put this valuable knowledge into practice. Each devotion presents a Bible verse, explains it, and shows how it relates to boys’ lives, then offers tools to help boys mature in their walk with God, inspiring them to make changes that will ensure that their spirituality grows deeper and deeper.
