This devotional, for children ages 4-10, will help your kids understand what it means to be responsible, and why it is so important according to the Bible. My prayer is that your children will desire to be responsible, not just so they can earn some reward, but so they can become more like Jesus in the process!

I am delighted to introduce to you Sydney Coffey, a first-time author of Moshe’s Big Day: A Lesson in Trust.  Moshe’s Big Day is a precious story about a sheep that wanders into some scary situations but ultimately learns to trust his shepherd’s voice to find his way back to safety.

I am pleased to introduce you to Lucy Reed, first-time author of the children’s book, Gypsy and the Summer Storm. Lucy’s sweet book about a farm dog named Gypsy will help little ones understand that God will take care of them when they are afraid.  

I am excited to introduce you to Rivers Houseal, a gifted young author, who has quite a gift for writing!  I read her book, Of Nature and Kings, with my kids this past summer. The book was very intriguing and keeps the readers in suspense for a good while  before the secrets  start to unfold!  I appreciated the positive character examples and her Biblical themes weaved into the story-line… I have asked Rivers some questions so you can learn more about this wonderful author, as well as her new book, Hidden in the Hymns!
