Share the book with your children’s minister, club leader, Sunday school teacher and others who work with children ages 8-12. These 118 pages of devotions and Bible verse studies will speak directly to your child. They speak to them in their language. They will enjoy the songs because of their familiar tunes with new words, so they can learn to sing them quickly. The recipes and craft activities are simple and can easily be prepared by your child. Make it a family project to share quality time with your child. Although the book is written for your child’s personal devotions, the devotions can be used for family devotions, home school morning devotions, in a classroom or anywhere children are present. Give the book as a gift to teachers, parents, grandparents, club leaders or anyone who cares for children. Any child who makes Bible study and prayer a part of their daily life will develop morals—what a rewarding task! This book helps to build character one child at a time.
