  • If you’re familiar with the well-known parts of the Bible but less sure about books like the minor prophets or epistles, this resource helps tie it all together. It presents the Bible as one unified story—God’s Word—by summarizing each book and highlighting its background, themes, theology, and role in God’s plan of salvation.


  • This book will walk you through the entire Bible with simple, one-page recaps that explain each day's passage, plus relatable God Shots that point out what Scripture says about God's character. There are also plenty of fun and helpful illustrations, as well as weekly summaries to reinforce key truths.


  • Paul Tripp shows parents how to take advantage of their children's teen years, drawing on practical, hopeful strategies shaped by God's Word. 


  • Technology can be a helpful tool and source of enjoyment for many families. But as with many good gifts from God, tech devices are best used in moderation. In this picture book, readers meet Polly while on a trip to her grandparents’ farm. A chat with her grandfather teaches her that, though screen time can be good, it can also keep kids away from better things.


  • Teens need guidance to navigate complex challenges in their lives and relationships. This devotional helps young adults find freedom and joy within Jesus' boundaries. Each day features a one-sentence gospel-centered reading and extended meditation, Bible verses, and a prompt for discussion or personal reflection.


  • In this biblical theology of prayer for children,  Nancy explains in child-friendly language what prayer is, how and why we should pray, and the things we can pray about. There is a Bible verse for each topic, and a prayer for children to make their own. This book will introduce children to the gift of prayer and will encourage them to enjoy speaking to their father God.


  • Get Your Story Straight by Kristen Hatton is a unique, 52-week devotional book to help teens and young adults discover the incredible news that God really is the hero of their story. This devotional book rescues teens from the selfie culture, inviting them to live with Jesus in his gospel story---where they can know that their sins are forgiven, their future is assured, and their lives have meaning.


  • Dads are given an incredible opportunity to be one of the primary influences in their children's lives for the gospel. By inviting conversations in every arena of life, fathers pass down the message of Christ to the next generation. Fitzpatrick invites fathers to share with their sons how the gospel shapes all aspects of life, including how they treat women, people from other ethnic groups, and much more.


  • Between Us Girls is more than a devotional; it's a conversation guide, and the twenty-six "chats" are just the beginning. Donohue's book teaches mothers and daughters a new way to communicate and starts them on a wonderful, lifelong journey of getting to know one another better and learning to love their Savior more. 


  • How God Makes Babies is an age-appropriate introduction to basic sexuality, helping children ages 6 to 9 understand that God created males and females differently and with a purpose, emphasizing that God is a part of each family from conception to death.


  • In The Biggest Story, Kevin DeYoung leads kids and parents alike on an exciting journey through the Bible, connecting the dots from the garden of Eden to Christ's death on the cross to the new heaven and new earth. With powerful illustrations, this imaginative retelling of the Bible’s core message will draw children into the biblical story, teaching them that God's promises are even bigger and better than we think.


  • This family devotional provides a unique opportunity for parents to help their children "listen up" and hear the gospel as Jesus himself shared it. Jesus told simple stories using everyday activities and objects that point to surprising spiritual truths about life in his kingdom. In the parables children (and adults!) will learn to treasure the gospel.


  • A children's book designed to help parents teach young kids (ages 3-6) about online safety, specifically how to handle accidental exposure to inappropriate content like pornography. It uses age-appropriate language and a simple "Turn, Run & Tell" strategy to empower children to recognize and report "bad pictures," helping them build an internal filter for the internet.


  • Gus, a raccoon who loves all things sweet, learns what happens when you want something too much. After eating all his Easter candy, Gus gets caught taking candy from the store. Papa reminds him that temptation might be strong for us, but it’s not too strong for Jesus. Both Gus and Papa can ask Jesus for help when they want something too much.


  • Zoe’s Time to Shine helps children learn that when Jesus is near, you don’t have to hide—you can face your friends and shine a light on them. 


  • God Made Your Body provides the basic foundation that God created our bodies and wants us to honor Him with our bodies. Children ages 3 to 5 will learn that boys' and girls' bodies are different--and those differences mean boys and girls can grow up to become daddies and mommies.


  • Fuel each day with inspirational messages that will leave your kids in awe about the earth, animals, the human body, the stars and galaxies...and the God who created it all!
