In this devotional for ages 9–13, you will travel through several time periods, starting with Israel in the wilderness, then through the life of David, the captivity of Judah, and finally Christ’s work on earth. You will tour many important sites like caves, palaces, and even a national park. We’ll also make some stops along the way to consider spiritual topics from the psalms that are still relevant for young Christians today.
What others are saying about this book:
"I called my grandson Liam and asked how the book was going. He said it is one of his favorite books!" —Lori (Escanaba, MI)
"I met Mike at the #SpeakUpConference last year. I was thrilled when I heard that he was releasing his first book on the Psalms. I started adding it to my morning routine (if there is such a thing with three young kids). It's a devotional, so it's a quick read and it's beautifully illustrated! I've been looking for a resource that could provide some biblical insight in an easy-to-understand way, and since it's written for a younger audience (9-13 years) this book delivers! It's been a great resource to have, and because of the pictures it has also sparked some great conversations with my six-year-old about the Bible!" —Stephanie (Franklin, TN, USA)
"It was well written and I enjoyed it. l liked how it had Bible references in the devotional part but also to read first. There were a couple of things I didn't quite understand at first but I looked at the reference verses and understood them!" —Ellie (Iowa, USA)
"This is a great devotional for the entire family. We read every night after dinner and the devotions were not too short or too long and led to nice discussions with the children, who are high school age and younger. Looking forward to the next devotional from this author." —a reader via Amazon.com (Indiana, USA)
"My favorite chapter is chapter 27, The Crimson Worm, because it is interesting how the life cycle of the worm points to Jesus’ death. I like this book because it teaches me a new thing about nature every time I read it. One thing I learned from this book is that God shows himself in all creation." —a young reader (Michigan, USA)
