Letting Go: A Bible Study on Choosing Forgiveness over Bitterness

Letting Go: A Bible Study on Choosing Forgiveness over Bitterness

When something bad happens, does your kid cling to anger or behave like a totally different person? If bitterness is something your kid is struggling with, we have a Bible study on forgiveness to help!

Letting Go is written specifically for kids and teens who have been through difficult times or circumstances. This forgiveness Bible study focuses on forgiving because of the character of God, rather than giving "helpful tips" on how to manage emotions. In this study, your kids will:

  • Get an honest look at bitterness and evaluate if they are bitter
  • Understand God's forgiveness so they can forgive others
  • Be reminded of God's sovereignty so they can trust Him in difficult situations

If your child is dealing with hurt and bitterness, grab your copy of Letting Go, and help cultivate hope and redemption in their lives!

FAQ

There is no scripture written out in our studies, only references. When it comes to growing faith, it's crucial that kids look up passages in the Bible for themselves and our studies are written to help them do that!

We study and write using ESV, as well as a variety of translations. Special attention has been given to make sure kids can answer questions regardless of the translation they are using.

We believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. We 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. Read more here.

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!

You'll want to purchase one copy per child at their specific age level. This will enable children to study at their level and record their own drawings and responses to the Word.

We highly encourage you to make sure that each child can participate by having their own book on their own level. You can learn more about why in this video.

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.
