Heroes of the Bible Devotional - Paperback

by Joshua Cooley (Author)

Every kid has an inner hero waiting to be inspired.

Ask any 12-year-old kid to describe a hero, and you will get some of the following answers: a superstar athlete, a soldier on the front lines, or a guy in a cape who can jump over buildings.

Most of our "heroes" are related to human achievement and glory, but the Bible has a very different concept. The list of people who were great in God's eyes might shock you. This Christian devotional book is about their stories.

The 90 devotions feature the qualities of Bible characters that made them heroic. From Moses to Esther to Jesus, kids ages 8-12 will learn more about how these Bible people pleased God. Joshua Cooley, father of four and a former children's minister, teaches kids that qualities like courage, worshiping God, and being a true friend are heroic actions. Each day features:

• An engaging devotion on a biblical hero
• Scripture verses connected to the topic
• An action step boys and girls can take to put into practice what they've learned
• Comic-book-style line drawings of the Bible characters to help the stories come alive

As kids learn about these role models of the faith, they'll understand what it means to be a true hero--and how to live like one.
