Kids Devotionals
Ambrose Hughes for Kids
In a world full of noise, distraction, and shifting truth, our children need more than entertainment or moral lessons—they need a real, growing relationship with the living God. The Kids Devotionals series was born from that holy desire: to introduce the youngest hearts to the wonder, grace, and presence of Jesus in a way that is both theologically rich and deeply accessible.
Rooted in the spirit of Deuteronomy 6, where God calls parents to speak of His truth “when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up,” this series is a tool for planting seeds of truth in everyday life. Like the blessing sung over generations in Kari Jobe’s “The Blessing,” these devotionals carry the hope that the beauty of the gospel will not only reach our children’s ears but awaken their hearts—for now, and for generations to come.
Each volume gently guides children into life-shaping truths: the meaning of baptism and God’s great rescue plan; the gift of prayer and how we can talk to a Father who always listens; the comfort of God’s help in every trial; and the foundational truths of the Christian faith drawn from Scripture and the great catechisms of church history. Through worship songs, Scripture, storytelling, and prayer, every devotional is a doorway into encounter—a moment for the Holy Spirit to meet a child with clarity, joy, and conviction.
But this series is not only about children. It is about families. It is about building a culture of discipleship in the home, one conversation, one bedtime story, one song at a time. It is about fathers and mothers, pastors and mentors, older siblings and spiritual friends saying together: “Jesus is real. He loves you. And your whole life belongs to Him.”
These books do not speak down to children—they lift them up. They do not water down the gospel—they bring it to life. With a careful balance of theological clarity and Spirit-filled warmth, they invite the next generation to know the goodness of God, to love His Word, and to walk closely with Him all their days.
The Kids Devotionals series is not just for Sunday mornings. It is for the kitchen table, the car ride, the bedtime prayer. It is for cultivating a love that lasts.
Because when the Word of God takes root in young hearts, and when parents and children learn to encounter Him together, we begin to see what revival looks like—not only in a moment, but in a generation.

In an age of noise, confusion, and moral drift, 52 Big Truths for Young Hearts is a timely invitation to ground the next generation in the unchanging truth of God’s Word. Built on the framework of the New City Catechism, this devotional is more than a teaching tool—it is a discipleship journey designed to awaken awe, cultivate intimacy with Christ, and shape young hearts through Scripture and prayer.
Each of the 52 devotionals explores a core truth of the Christian faith—from the character of God and the wonder of creation, to the nature of sin, the person of Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the hope of eternal life. But the goal is not information—it is transformation. These truths are meant to be experienced, not just explained. Parents and children are invited not only to understand the gospel, but to encounter the living God behind it.
Every truth is framed in the context of the gospel, every law leads to grace, and every commandment points to Christ. Yet layered beneath that clarity is a warm rhythm of expectancy—assuming that the Holy Spirit speaks, moves, and ministers to children as much as to adults.
At its heart, this is a devotional of formation. Children are not viewed as passive recipients of doctrine but as active participants in the life of God. They are not merely learning about a Savior—they are being invited into union with Him. And parents are not expected to be theological experts, but humble guides—walking alongside their children with openness, dependence, and hope.
52 Big Truths for Young Hearts is a tool for families seeking to raise children in both theological depth and Spirit-filled devotion. It meets a generation hungry for identity, purpose, and joy, and points them—week by week—to the One who alone can satisfy.

When You Need Help from God is a 15-day devotional designed to lead children into a deeper understanding of who God is: not distant or passive, but present, powerful, and deeply personal. Through stories from both the Old and New Testaments—Daniel in the lion’s den, Jonah in the fish, Hannah praying for a child, Jesus in Gethsemane, and more—children are shown that they are part of a long line of people who have cried out to God and found Him faithful.
Each day presents Scripture, a story, a reflection, a worship song, and a prayer. But more than that, it offers children a vision of God as their Helper—not just when things go wrong, but in every moment of life. With gospel clarity and childlike wonder, the devotional teaches that because of Jesus, we are never alone. He hears us when we pray, stays with us when we’re afraid, and helps us when we’re overwhelmed.
Ultimately, this devotional plants the seeds of spiritual resilience. It teaches kids to run to God—not just in crisis, but in confidence—and to expect that He will answer in love. It forms not only their theology, but their hearts, training them to live as children who know they are seen, heard, and helped by the One who holds all things together.

Understanding Baptism is a 15-day devotional written for young believers—particularly children—who are exploring what it means to follow Jesus and take the step of baptism. But its clarity, warmth, and theological richness offer a vision of baptism that speaks deeply to every age.
With gentle gospel fluency, this devotional begins not with a command, but with an invitation. It doesn’t start with what baptism is, but with who God is—and what He has done in Christ. Baptism is framed not as a rite to perform or a religious hurdle to clear, but as a grace-filled sign of a heart already changed by Jesus.
Each day unfolds a new layer: the meaning of faith, the beauty of God’s rescue plan, why Jesus was baptized, how the Spirit empowers obedience, and how baptism testifies that we are new creations, joined to Christ and to His people. Always present is a gospel thread—emphasizing that salvation is by grace through faith, not by water or works, and that baptism is a response to that grace, not a means of earning it.
Baptism here is not presented as a finish line, but a beginning. It’s a step into a lifelong journey of union with Christ, empowered by the Spirit, and anchored in the love of the Father. The final message is not simply “Get baptized,” but “Remember who you are.” Baptism is a visible declaration of an invisible miracle. It’s not magic—it’s mercy made visible. And it’s meant to shape the whole of life.

Talking to Our Heavenly Father is a 15-day devotional that gently and powerfully introduces children to the gift and mystery of prayer. This book helps young readers understand that prayer is not just something we do—it’s a relationship we enter into with a loving, present God who listens, speaks, and moves.
Each devotional begins with Scripture, guiding children through various expressions of prayer: thanksgiving, intercession, worship, bold asking, listening, perseverance, and praying in the Holy Spirit. Prayer isn’t presented as a religious obligation, but as an invitation to draw close to a Father who delights in His children’s voices.
The devotional teaches children not only how to talk to God, but how to hear Him—cultivating wonder, trust, and spiritual attentiveness. It honors the mystery of God’s presence while making His nearness accessible. The closing theme—a life of prayer—is not about intensity or performance, but about abiding: trusting God moment by moment, and walking with Him in joy, dependence, and love.
Talking to Our Heavenly Father is more than a tool for teaching children to pray—it’s a guide to forming hearts that love God, trust His voice, and live a Spirit-filled life rooted in relationship.
