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 children and I have used a couple of these studies and we enjoy them. These studies has become my first choice for anything. We also use them for sunday school. Thank you Not Consumed for your share of teaching the faith!
Praise God for this study! We’ve been able to learn a lot about many topics that all tie together with obedience. Starting this study just opened the door to me being able to get even deeper with the kids and it is such a blessing! The amount of peace in our home is gradually growing and it’s a really great way to keep the kids involved and excited about learning especially since they have their own books to write in I will definitely be getting more these are really affordable and worth every dollar! Thanks so much Not consumed!
Each daily devotion is perfectly laid out on each page with beautiful illustrations. I just love the stickers and love displaying the Bible verse cards that are included. We use our devotions as read alouds during our family Bible time.
I seriously enjoy this Bible study so much. I believe in biblical parenting and raising my kids according to the word of God. This Bible study does an amazing job at coming alongside my husband and I and explaining why obedience is so important not just because of us parents but because God calls us to obey him and our word and this is such a huge help in our kiddos learning that. I am excited to finish this one and purchase our next series.
My son will be 5 this month. We just finished this study. I like that it is very scripture-oriented. The lessons are short enough that they held his attention. He seemed to understand the take-home points. I think it could be improved with illustrations. Unfortunately, I have not noticed any behavior changes. It's not that I was expecting a huge breakthrough with just a short study, but I was hoping it would make more sense to him about why he is required to obey us (and God). Not sure that was accomplished.
I have enjoyed this study so much. I really love the parent guide. It has shown me places in my heart that need cleansing. This is also a great study for children of courses! My children have really enjoyed it. We have reread many of the lessons at their request. This study is based in Scripture. It continuously points you to the Word. I have already ordered more studies to complete when we finish this one. I am so excited. Most children’s Bible studies lack depth, that is not the case here. You will not regret using this with your children (or even just yourself!).
