Book Synopsis

A stunning devotional for kids, featuring 52 amazing animals that will have young believers marveling at how awesome God is as they discover more about the journey of wild faith God invites them to experience!

"This devotional feels like a warm hug! It's perfect for starting meaningful conversations about kindness, faith, and the love of Jesus with your kids."--Mandy Arioto, president and CEO of The MomCo

God created the world. Every aspect displays God's strength and love. And though Creation can never fully express the wonders of the Lord, sometimes examples from nature can make God's truth come alive to us.

That's why the Wild Faith Devotional for Kids gathers well-known animals like flamingos, snakes, dogs, and cats along with lesser-known creatures like the capybara, glass frog, and rock-climbing goby to help kids celebrate God's creativity, seek God with all their hearts, and rest in God's great love for them.

Packed with spiritual truths and scientific knowledge, all 52 devotions include:
- stunning illustrations and striking photography
- Bible verses and short prayers
- interactive "Make It Stick" and "Live It Out" sections
- fun facts highlighting quirky or unbelievable details

The Wild Faith Devotional is perfect for creature- and Bible-loving kids ready to go deeper in faith!
