Basics for Believing Kids Beth Livingston

How can we help children who have accepted Christ as Savior grow in their faith? What are the basic things they need to know?


What does it mean to be a Christian?
Who is God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit?
Why is the Bible important?
Why pray?
Why go to church?
How to tell others about Jesus
How to have assurance of salvation
How to be separate from the world
How to have the character of Christ


Because reading the Bible and praying every day are so important, this is designed as a Quiet Time workbook with daily devotions for twelve weeks. Each week starts with a Phil and Ashley story-a brother and sister who apply these truths. This can be used by one child alone, by an adult working one-on-one with a child, as a Bible study for a group of children, or taught as a discipleship class. It is designed for third-sixth-graders to use independently but can be used by younger children with adult help.
