    About this ebook

    My Tender Heart Devotions introduces little ones to weekly reflections with 52 Bible-based readings and rhymes. Encourage young readers to learn and grow in their relationship with God through this uplifting and interactive book of devotions!

    My Tender Heart Devotions offers 52 age-appropriate meditations for toddlers and preschoolers, including Bible verses and prayer. Using concrete, everyday experiences or objects that little ones can relate to, each weekly reflection is easy to understand and prompts conversation about God's goodness and love. Written in catchy rhyme, an opening poem is followed by a short devotional that includes a Bible passage, a playful "Heart Moment" activity, and a prayer.

    With short and sweet, well-written text and whimsical illustrations, this devotional will become a beloved part of any morning or bedtime routine. Beginner readers will enjoy using items from around home or thinking about daily activities when it comes to God's Word. Simple yet uplifting Biblical application shines through every "Heart Moment" for parents or other caregivers to share and ponder. Scripture references for further reading are noted throughout and encourage regular Bible reading. With a note from the author and tips on how to help young readers begin daily devotions, every household or classroom will learn and grow in their relationship with God while using My Tender Heart Devotions.

    "My Tender Heart Devotions takes profound, timeless truths from Scripture and packages them in a format that will make sense to young eyes and ears. This colorful resource will help bolster your young child's faith—and it just might bolster your faith, as well."
