My Defender Sets Me Free

My Defender Sets Me Free is an interactive teaching devotional written by a nine-year-old boy and his mother to help children develop a deeper relationship with the Lord. This book is intended for ages 9+ and discusses topics such as friendship, showing God's love, speaking words of life, forgiveness, depending on the Lord, taking thoughts captive, and telling the truth. Inside, there are thirty devotions that contain Biblical teaching, personal stories, and interactive exercises. At the end of each section, children will be asked to write, draw, pray, and step out in faith to impact the world for Jesus Christ. Each interactive devotion should take between fifteen to twenty minutes to complete and is intended to inspire readers to walk in freedom from the ways of the world through the power of the Holy Spirit. About the Authors Ever since Carter was a toddler, he has had a passion for knowing the Lord, hearing His voice, and preaching the Gospel. When Carter was four years old, he started having dreams with Jesus in them. Over the years, God has increasingly opened the eyes of Carter's heart to hear and see from a Heavenly perspective. Carter has been asked to preach on several occasions and enjoys praying for and talking with others about the importance of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Lauren Trogdon is Carter's mother and has loved the Lord since she was a child. She is also an author who has written about intimacy with God and hearing from Him through dreams. She believes hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit is an essential part of Christianity for God's children of all ages. Carter and Lauren have a desire to see believers focus and apply the Word of God to their lives so the light of Christ within the Church continues to powerfully invade a world that is in desperate need of freedom. "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36, NIV).
