Kitchen-Table Systematic Theology for Kids, A 52-Week Family Devotional: 10-Minute Family Worship & Discipleship for Kids 8-12 with Stories, Prayer Prompts, Discussion Questions, and Parent Notes

On Some Days, Do You Feel Like You Are Failing at Family Discipleship?

You want your kids to know God deeply... but life is loud, busy, and unpredictable. AND BUSY! REALLY BUSY!!

You’ve tried other devotionals or Bible studies that felt like homework (ugh). And when doubt, fear, or setbacks hit your home, you’re left wondering, “Am I doing enough for my kids to know Jesus, to really know Him?”

This book meets you right there... without shame. It’s a warm, pastoral, practical guide that brings big, historic Christian truth down to the kitchen table, in a rhythm your family can actually keep.

Week by week, it helps you build roots for the storm, so your kids don’t just know Bible facts… they learn to trust God when life gets real.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A clear 52-week family devotional plan designed for real schedules (bedtime, breakfast, car rides, and “we only have a few minutes” days).
• Kid-friendly systematic theology for ages 8–12, explained simply, without watering it down.
• Real-life stories that connect doctrine to friendships, fears, school pressure, and everyday choices.
• Discussion questions that help kids open up, without turning it into a lecture.
• Weekly “practice” habits that train faith muscles (not just feelings).
• Parent Notes (“The Secret Weapon”) that equip you to lead with confidence, even if you’ve never studied theology formally.
• Memory one-liners + optional catechism Q&A to lock in truth through repetition and family worship.
• Help for tough moments: how to respond when your child feels anxious, discouraged, angry, or uncertain.
• A six-part roadmap covering the Bible, God’s character, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Church, and the hope of what’s coming.
• Faith-building clarity that turns “I don’t know what to say” into “Let’s talk about who God is.”

Your story isn’t over. God IS still working in your family... often in the small, ordinary moments you’re tempted to overlook.

So, you don’t need perfection. You need a plan, a pattern, and a steady reminder that God is faithful while you plant seeds.

Bring theology home, to your kitchen table, starting this week.
