Congratulations! Your child has just surrendered their life to Jesus! This is such a joyful and exciting thing! But just because your child has made a profession of faith doesn't mean they know how to walk with Jesus. Now that they're a Christian, it's time to learn what this really means and what it looks like in their life every day!
I Have Decided is a Bible study created to help new believers understand how to live a Christian life by exercising their faith. Through studying God's Word, your child will:
Packed with scripture and truth, this study is a great resource to help your new believer work out their salvation and grow in newness of life!

Mount Zion Marathon Audio Drama (All Ages)
Captain Patch and his crew encourage young Christian to continue in the race and to gain the victor's crown. Join Christian as he learns about faithfulness in the Christian life.
Selections include: Mount Zion Fanfare • We're Marching to Zion • Faithful Men • I'm Goin' for the Gold • I'm Workin' Out • The Victor's Crown • Extra Baggage • The Old Rugged Cross • Re-Nik-A-Dee-Boks • Guard My Heart • More Precious Than Gold • Lazy Bones • Trust His Word • He Will Be Exalted
A Peep Behind the Scenes Audio Drama (Ages 9+)
Behind many smiling faces hides a hurting heart, for there is often a high price to pay for what appears to be glamorous. In this compelling story, Mrs. Walton gives us a glimpse into the life of a disillusioned actress. In her fabricated world of glamour and glitz, Rosalie finds solace in the words of a gentle old man who gives her a picture of a Shepherd who loves her.
Written in 1878, A Peep Behind the Scenes sold over 2 ½ million copies. Now it comes to life as a powerful audio drama! You’ll engage in the world of the traveling theatre, where Nora, enticed by fame and blinded by the romance of the theatre, quickly sees what life is like behind the scenes. You’ll meet Augustus, who thrives in the very small world that features himself, and Rosalie, whose faith shines bright in a woefully dark world. And don’t forget Betsy Ann, who’s convinced that nobody loves her—because nobody ever did—until she meets the Good Shepherd who goes to extremes to seek and to find those who are lost.
Whether you're looking for a thoughtful gift or a beautiful study tool, we have Bibles to help you and your kids grow in faith!
What version of the Bible do you use?
I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible of their choice, with specific attention taken to assure questions can be answered from a variety of translations. So you should be able to use whatever version your family prefers. It's my passion to see kids opening the Bible themselves, so we've been very intentional about this.
What do you believe?
I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth.
What age level should I buy?
This is by far the most common question we get around here. Please check out this video. I'll show you the differences between the levels and walk you through how to use them as a family!
How many copies should I buy?
If you are buying digital, you only need one copy. If you plan to share with people outside of your home (like a group, co-op, church, etc.), you will need a site license to do so. Those can be found on each product's page.
If you are buying softcover, you should purchase one copy per child. This will enable children to write in the book, as it is designed to record their drawings and responses to the Word.
How long are your studies?
Each Bible study is a slightly different length, ranging from 20 lessons to 28 lessons. We suggest doing one lesson a day. Most kids find that it takes about 15 minutes a day.

My daughter and I are enjoying this study beyond words can really thank you for. This will have an impact on our walk with Jesus for the best for all eternity.
I ordered this study for my middle two kids to each do on their own (8 & 10yr olds,) and though they occasionally needed some help with it, it was a pretty independent devotional for them. As a homeschool mom I do a Bible time with my kids in the morning and my husband does scripture reading with them in the evening, but we wanted them to learn how to study God's Word on their own. The other day we were doing our evening scripture time and my son was able to quote the verse we had just read because he had learned and studied it in this devotional. It was awesome to see fruit from their private study time.
My 8 & 9 year old truly enjoyed this study. They both were very engaged and had lots of questions that were answered from going through it weekly.
This is perfect for kids who just decided to become a Christian and have that relationship with God. I have one who has, and one who hasn't yet; but we will all be going through this lesson together and learning and I have no doubt it will teach us all a bit more about what God has to say!

It is our job as parent's to teach our children God's ways and this is an excellent help in doing that!
Our pastor does a Communion class in May. Most of the kids were baptized recently., s that's why I bought these books to help him with our kids. It is very detailed and has some fantastic resources for teachers and parents. Thanks for offering this. I look forward to our May class this year.
My children were recently baptized after choosing to give their lives to Jesus, and now we are going through this study together. Thank you so much!
We just had a young lady give her heart to the Lord Sunday. Monday, I opened my email from Not Consumed telling about a resource for new converts. God sent this at the perfect time! I ordered one for the mom and one for the young lady to do together. They were so excited to get it. I looked through it before giving it to them; looks very thorough and well done, just as all the Bible Studies are. Thank you for making these at multi levels where families can study together!
This has been a great resource for me to go through with our youngest child who is seven. It has helped me cover all the things I didn't want to forget and she has enjoyed working through the pages and adding her own content. The stickers were a big plus for her also! It's provided a great time for us to spend time together while focusing on the things that matter most. I also love that we're learning to look up Scriptures at the same time and her Bible "dexterity" has been improving too!
