What version of the Bible do you use?

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.

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?

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.

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.

Making Lemonade: A Bible Study on Trusting God Through Life’s Struggles

If God is good and in control, how could He let this happen to me? Unfortunately, this is a question all of us will face at one point in our lives, and kids are no exception. They experience the same hard and difficult things adults do, but they don't have the strong biblical foundation needed to truly deal with them.

Making Lemonade is our Bible study designed to help kids trust God through the struggles of life. Whether it's illness, the loss of a loved one, or a big life change, this study will show your kids how to trust God, and show them that truth will triumph over emotion every time! This Bible Study:

Offers help based on God's truth
Teaches kids that they can trust God's work in their lives
Helps parents guide their kids through difficult times by dealing with emotions and learning to trust God's truth

We can't shield our kids from every hardship in life, but we can give them the tools to work through them. Grab your copy of Making Lemonade, and help lay that truth-filled foundation in your kids' lives today!

Wow!

Our kids are learning so many great things from this study…most importantly about how faithful God is and for us to lean into Him and it’s just beautiful to follow along with them in this study! It’s been great for the kids and myself!

Amazing study

I love that this study tackles hard, but relevant topics. I bought the entire series and let my teens pick which ones they wanted to do. The results helped me to know what they were dealing with! And they LOVED the lemon squishy too.

Emotions Everywhere!

Looking forward to this study with my son. We love the way these studies are set up!

Can't wait!

Bought for my child, but I’m the one learning!

I bought the whole series for my daughter and I to go through together, but honestly this first study was so good for me personally. I needed the reminder to let God be God and stop trying to take control. My daughter learned too of course and it was a wonderful foundation for the rest of the series, I definitely wouldn’t skip this one.

Make Lemonade

This study was given for Christmas to a family trying to deal some very difficult issues that life brings along. The different levels of study is excellent allowing for the different ages to read along and participate and has proven to be very helpful.

Thank you!

Always hits the mark

We started Lemons study after living through a tough year with health issues and it has brought up good conversation for me and my girls to help us understand God better and not look at the problem but to learn and trust in WHO God is in the struggle. Just what we are needing in this time.

Another banger!

This is so beautiful and well done!! I think these studies get better and better! Just got this and can’t wait to start it!
