One generation shall praise Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty works. – Psalm 145:4 NKJV
You read devotional books and you love them. You gift them. You stack them on your bedside tables. They give you something Jesus-oriented to chew on every day and start your day off right. But...
Have your kids started reading devotionals yet?
They'll love having their own devo book to read every day!
Children's devotional books make learning about faith in Jesus and leaning on Him super relatable for kids. They're packed with Bible verses, stories, and teaching that's just right for their age, helping them grow in their faith in Christ and know Him more. Starting early helps build a strong spiritual foundation, opens them up to hearing the voice of God, and gives them a sense of purpose and worth that'll stick with them as they grow up.
Plus, reading devotional books makes digging into the Bible a regular habit. They've got daily readings, prayers, and cool activities that get kids thinking and talking about their faith. That not only helps them get closer to the Lord but also is a beautiful way for parents and kids to share that walk of faith and grow together!
Oh, and let's not forget how these books can help kids deal with all the tricky stuff they'll face growing up. They tackle topics like making friends, being kind, forgiving, and finding the courage to face life's challenges. So, they're like a toolkit for life, giving kids the smarts and comfort they need to navigate whatever comes their way by relying on God as their rock.
Nothing is more satisfying for parents than pointing our kids to Jesus. Devotions are a great way to do that!
We've gathered a dozen fantastic options to choose from. Enjoy!
