2023 Redesign, PreK age level added!
Do you find your kids complaining a lot? Or maybe they tend to speak carelessly, or even say unkind or mean things? They may know that their tongue is out of control, but they don't understand the importance of taming it.
Our Fruit of the Tongue Bible study is designed to help guide kids to an understanding that their words matter–to God and to everyone around them. While looking at Scripture, this study will:

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. Please check out this video for more explanation on why this is so important!
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 daughters and I did the Fruit of Tongue devotional and it was awesome! I have preteens and teens and I loved how the books are age appropriate for all ages. We loved working through each day and discussing what we learned. I loved how a topic was taken and then shown what God has to say about it and then shown how to apply it in our lives. We will definitely be ordering another series!!
We love how the Biblical truths and practical applications for what we say, what we don't say, and why are integrated into this study. The use of stickers was thoughtful and engaging and helped my boys understand the fruit of the tongue idea.
We are only a couple days in to this study as a family, but when both my 10th grader and 7th grader opened up their books and we got started they were so incredibly excited! This study has already begun some great discussions and allows us to really connect instead of me just "teaching" to them. They enjoy that I am working through the study with them and enjoy hearing what I share.
This Bible study is so easy to just open up and go! We start our homeschool day with it. My boys (ages 4 &6) are really understanding the concept of the fruit of the tongue and are able to explain it back to me. So happy with this purchase, looking forward to buying more of these Bible studies!
This Bible study is absolutely amazing ! It teaches us , me included, not just my kids, how we should be speaking ( humbly, respectfully, kind, loving,etc) .. how every word we say matters !! Our words can bring death or life! It's been an awesome study!!
This has been such a great study for all of us. It is engaging, and the kids love participating in discussion.
I mean does anyone not have an issue with their tongue? I loved how this provided so many opportunities for my girls to talk about how someone else's words affected them including my own words to them at times.
This Bible study was my favorite out of all the studies we have done so far. I could see a change in my children (and myself!) on how they treated each other and how they were wise about what came out of their mouths. I will probably do this study again in the future as a refresher! I definitely recommend this to other families- it was a huge blessing to us all.
This was great for our whole family to go through together and encouraged us parents as much as the kids! We had many great discussions outside of doing the study and it gave us as a family a framework for how we want our speech to be etc. I am very thankful for this study as well as the other ones we have done and I look forward to doing more!
