Setting routines and rhythms can help your family focus on the Bible together. Here are some exciting resources to help you with discipleship at home.

Take a look at our resources for the whole family, little ones, tweens and parents.

For the Whole Family

1. Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer Family Devotional

Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer Family Bible Devotional

Any Time, Any Place, Any Prayer Family Bible Devotional

$16.99

Easy-to-lead 10-minute devotions for families, all about prayer.

Based on the beloved storybook by Laura Wifler, these easy-to-lead devotions are perfect for getting into the Bible together. When your schedule is hectic, it’s especially sweet for all of your family members to remember that we can talk to God about anything!

Each of the 15 devotions includes an opening prayer, a Bible passage, questions, and more to make it simple for your family to prioritise time together in God’s Word.

For Little Ones

2. God's Big Promises Bible Storybook

God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook

God’s Big Promises Bible Storybook

$34.99

92 foundational Bible stories, faithfully told and beautifully illustrated, which point to the one big story of the Bible—God making and keeping his promises.

If you have small children at home who can’t be wrangled long enough for a full devotional, our new kids’ Bible may be the perfect addition to your family’s library. Each of the 92 foundational Bible stories is faithfully told and beautifully illustrated. There are colourful icons throughout called “Promise Paths”, which indicate promises made and kept by our amazing, promise-keeping God! 

I’ve been reading this Bible Storybook to my own toddler for a few months now, and she loves the colourful illustrations! The length of each story is just perfect for those 2-6-year-old attention spans. 

There’s also an Advent Calendar available.

Bonus: There are crafts and worksheets you can download for free here.

3. Training Young Hearts Series

What Are Hands For? Board Book

What Are Hands For? Board Book

$17.99

Practical, fun tool for parents raising toddlers. Encourages obedience motivated by God’s love and grace.

In other exciting news, Abbey Wedgeworth's first two books in her brand new series, Training Young Hearts, release next month! The series is all about encouraging positive behaviour for kids by holding out a model for grace-based obedience—encouraging them to run to Jesus with feelings of guilt and shame and to look to the Holy Spirit for help to use their bodies as God intended. 

What Are Hands For? and What Are Mouths For? are two fun, lift-the-flap board books that do just that! I’m so grateful for the way Abbey points her little readers to the Gospel in each book.

What Are Mouths For? Board Book

What Are Mouths For? Board Book

$17.99

Practical, fun tool for parents raising toddlers. Encourages obedience motivated by God’s love and grace.

For Tweens

4. How Can I Be Sure What’s Right and Wrong?

How Can I Be Sure What's Right and Wrong?

How Can I Be Sure What's Right and Wrong?

$19.99

Apologetics for kids and tweens on the source of moral truth.

Speaking of tough topics, the Big Questions series is perfect for helping tweens to grapple with some of the larger issues they are beginning to face. Chris Morphew has been known to captivate even non-reader-y tweens with his clear and compelling writing. 

The newest book in the series, How Can I Be Sure What’s Right and Wrong? is available now. Tweens can read these books independently, or read them together to get some good discussion going.

For Parents

5. Raising Confident Kids in a Confusing World

Raising Confident Kids in a Confusing World

Raising Confident Kids in a Confusing World

$22.99

Inspires and equips parents to help their children find their identity in being made and loved by Jesus. Useful for any stage of parenting.

If you didn’t catch this book that came out a few months ago, it’s worth adding to your reading list! As questions of identity plague our culture, many Christian parents are wondering how to help their children navigate all the conflicting messages about who they are and what they could be. 

Ed shows that the best thing for our kids is to be rooted in their identity in Christ. He writes with warmth and experience, giving confidence to parents as they seek to honour God by raising confident kids.
