In this devotional for ages 9–13 (though saints of all ages will benefit), you will travel through several time periods, starting with Israel in the wilderness, then through the life of David, the captivity of Judah and finally the work of our Lord Jesus on earth. You will tour many important sites like deserts, caves, palaces, battlefields and even a national park. We will also make some stops along the way to consider spiritual topics from the Psalms that are still relevant for young (and old) Christians today.
For each of these devotions, we will conclude by meditating on the work of our Saviour. By God’s grace, you will be strengthened in faith and grow closer to him today and every day as you journey through this life to heaven.

What others are saying about this book:
“I called my grandson Liam and asked how the book was going. He said it is one of his favourite books!” — Lori (Escanaba, Michigan)
“I met Mike at the #SpeakUpConference last year. I was thrilled when I heard that he was releasing his first book on the Psalms. I started adding it to my morning routine (if there is such a thing with three young kids). It’s a devotional, so it’s a quick read and it’s beautifully illustrated! I’ve been looking for a resource that could provide some biblical insight in an easy-to-understand way and, since it’s written for a younger audience (9-13 years), this book delivers! It’s been a great resource to have and, because of the pictures, it has also sparked some great conversations with my six-year-old about the Bible!” — Stephanie (Franklin, Tennessee)
“This is a great devotional for the entire family. We read it every night after dinner and the devotions were not too short or too long and led to nice discussions with the children, who are high school age and younger. Looking forward to the next devotional from this author.” — a reader via Amazon.com (Indiana)
