Anger. Pride. Despair. Our kids are facing all kinds of enemies, and often are ill-equipped to guard against them. Rather than reactively deal with the fruit of these unchecked heart issues, it's important that kids know how to proactively guard their hearts from those enemies ever taking root.
In the Keep Thy Heart Bible Study, your kids will learn how dangerous sin is and how to guard their heart from its influences. While looking at Scripture, your kids will:

Giant Killer (ages 8+)
The battle continues to rage, moment by moment and day by day. But must we meet the enemy blindfolded? In order to conquer, we must face the enemy; to crush opposition, we must see the real foe. Through this allegorical tale, we’ll be better equipped to recognize and slay the Giants who confront us.
We’ll break through the web of Sloth, climb out of the pit of Selfishness, choke up the fount of Anger, flee the lurking place of Untruth, and triumph over our enemy, Pride. Join faithful knight Fides as he takes on life’s battle and follows Lady Wisdom. Through her strength and guidance, he unleashes the power to attempt the impossible! If you feel that you have nothing firm upon which to lay hold, grasp the strong cord of Love as your means of safety and deliverance.

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.
Studies with 20 lessons:
Obey
Do Right
Fruit of the Tongue
My Brother's Keeper
Navigating Friendships
A Content Heart
Studies with 25 lessons:

Developing a Quiet Time
We got this for our 7 year old to start devotions on this own, but also got the parent guide to discuss together. It has made an impact on me as much as my child! I am so thankful for the notes in the parent guide to help lead the discussion in our morning family time. It has been a great help when guiding my child through the devotional. So grateful to have found this and how it has helped our family put God and His Word first!
My seven year old has been doing this study and it has led to such great discussions between us. I'm looking forward to seeing how God grows her faith through this study
Keep Thy Heart is such a good study. It helps you look at your own heart and seeking God for the heart surgery you need. It’s so important to keep the focus on your own heart instead of pointing the finger at the other person and what you think they need to work on. When you let God work on your heart, those things change naturally. It’s awesome!
My son picked this study as our first one to do and we are really enjoying it. I love the challenge cards! We post them where we can see them when we wake up and as we go to sleep.
We just completed this one and while my kids felt a little young for this but it provided a good foundation for future discussions.
Excellent study! Engaging for the kids. Didn’t take long to complete each day, so the kids didn’t feel overwhelmed. Surprisingly deep. Our family loved it! We are forever changed. Thank you!
In an age where the world is becoming more and more hostile to biblical ideas, teaching our kids to protect themselves is so important. Physical dangers are one thing, but spiritual dangers seem far more serious. This study does a wonderful job encouraging us all to avoid traps and keep our eyes focused on God.
I love the topics covered in here... you won't be disappointed!
Wow had no idea the study came with challenge cards, stickers and a bookmark. Unique topic for bible study for kids and much needed too.
