Read moreFaith at child height — for parents and grandparents
This topic is written for the grown-ups who love and are raising children — parents and grandparents wanting to pass on a living faith. It gathers verses small enough for children to hold, prayers for bedtime and morning, and gentle, practical ways to nurture faith in the young.
You'll find short Bible verses for children, bedtime and morning prayers for kids, guides to teaching children about Jesus, doing family devotions with toddlers, the best Bible stories to read together, and raising grateful, kind children. Everything is designed to be simple, warm, and joyful — because faith, for a child, should be a delight rather than a chore.
The heart of it is that seeds planted early grow deep. The verses, prayers, and habits your children learn young can light their way for a lifetime. Start with one small thing — a verse, a bedtime prayer, a story — and build gently from there.
