Children & Youth

“When Jesus taught his friends to pray, he told them they didn't need to use lots of fancy words--he emphasized simplicity. Deep Breath, Little Whisper shows that praying isn't hard and anyone can do it! May children and adults alike take its message to heart, and may prayer become as natural as breathing.”

The Biggest Story Advent

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“For centuries, God’s people waited in hope for the Messiah to appear. The Biggest Story Advent introduces children to the promises and prophecies that set the birth of Christ in its glorious context—the redemption of God’s people! Kids will love opening a new flap each day, building anticipation suitable for a long-awaited King.”

The Dragon and the Stone

Fiction

“The Dragon and the Stone invites young readers to make an exciting journey into the realm of dreams with Lily McKinley and her eccentric companions. With a great deal of inventiveness and a touch of whimsy, Kathryn Butler takes the reader on a perilous ride that they won't want to end. I was gripped from the first chapter, and I expect families will soon be clamoring for the next book in The Dream Keeper Saga!”

The Hunt for the Kraken

Children & Youth

“Life is full of choices, and a decide-as-you-go adventure experientially teaches kids that choices have real consequences. Parents understandably want to protect their children from making bad choices, so fiction is an excellent way for children to imaginatively experience the school of hard knocks. The Hunt for the Kraken has no shortage of hard knocks, peril, and godly wisdom. You may regret some choices along the way, but you won’t regret picking up this book!”

The Story of Martin Luther

History & Biography

“The Story of Martin Luther is a lively tale about a lively man. Jared Kennedy recounts the complexities of Luther’s life in a way that is understandable, interesting, and relatable, without oversimplification or condescension. I can think of no better way to introduce children to the Protestant Reformation than by giving them this biography.”
