A Boy After God's Own Heart

I rarely give 5 star reviews, but this series is great! I started both of my boys (15 & 12) on this study. I will move my older son on to the next series, “A young man after God’s Heart”, while my younger will wait a little while to move on to the next series. We actually did this study together as a family. It helped keep us in God’s word together as a family and as the Bible says....Proverbs 27:17, “IRON SHARPENS IRON”. There are studies for men, women, and for different aged boys and girls. I even bought the girls series for my 11 year old niece. I wouldn’t start them any earlier than 4th grade. For maturity purposes and retaining what they learn. I do believe there is a devotional/storybook form for preschoolers and early elementary ages.

Love this book as it uncovers God's nature as my grandsons learn how special they are as God sees them. I read a chapter at time with my 2 oldest. This book offers an interesting way to share real-life scenarios they can relate to and helps them understand the unseen God and Jesus their grandparents follow. I recommend this book highly.

My 10 year old son is doing a bible study over the summer with some of his friends from school -- this book is perfect. It has chapters on school, friends, parents, etc. I highly recommend. Each chapter is just long enough to really have a lesson but no so long he loses interest. He is able to do the study on his own which I love because he learns so much more if I'm not answering for him. The topics are right on his level but would work for a little younger or older as well.

An excellent book for a boy's transition to manhood,

I just got my book and had a quick read before giving it to my 10 year old son. He studies on an English based curriculum in Hong Kong but also learns two other languages (Korean, Chinese) simultaneously so can be slightly slower than US based kids on English reading. On that standard, the English in the book is average to easy. But the lessons will require some level of maturity or self reflection. Definitely 10+ in my view. I feel the book is solid in terms of the areas of life that it's trying to bring awareness on, plus the biblical lessons its trying to share for each of those life areas. Quite happy with these. It's loosely based on a fictional boy's story to make it feel less like a book of rules. I'm keen and curious to see how my boy actually finds the book and its delivery. I think this can depend on the reader but in any case it's pretty relatable for the age group, so can easily be used as a read together instead as well. I recently got him a number of books on puberty, sexuality, and investment etc. I'm glad I got this together with the package.

Outstanding and thorough, really simple and yet profound -- I bought this for my 9 year old son and he works through it by himself and I really have seen him absorb and apply the well-though-out teaching. Solid and Biblically based. We feel very blessed to have found this devotional book!

My 8 year old son loves this book. I'm so thankful he is excited to read it and he asks to read it each night! The author really knows how to talk to a young boy where he can relate.

I used this book for 10 yr old boys class at our inner city mission. The boys enjoyed it and I enjoyed teaching it and it also aids in bringing up other discussions.

Excellent book. My oldest son read it 2 years ago and now my little one is reading it. It help them to improve in this path and care about their spiritual life

book is little too long to read for an 8 year old but well wirtten .....

A very good book with activities to help build the faith of a child, too good for that price. It helps a child grow a relationship with God that lasts a lifetime. I recommend it for every home. I bought the girl’s copy for my teenage daughter several years back and she still relish the experience.

Very good discussion starter. My sons who are 10 really enjoyed reading it before bed during our family worship. Highly recommended

Really good for my almost 8yr old son, he loves it as getting him thinking about scripture in relation to himself
