13 Weeks of Life-Changing Devotions about Emotions!
From social media to virtual learning, there are situations that bring up strong feelings that kids are having to experience for the first time. This 13-week devotional is designed for boys and girls ages 6–9 who are learning how to identify, understand, and handle their ever-changing big emotions. Big Feelings, Bigger God offers young readers (and their families) true-to-life stories that depict the entire range of emotions children (and adults) experience.

Each chapter contains a week’s worth (six) of daily devotions that include:

• A short, kid-friendly memory verse from the book of Psalms
• True-to-life stories and Bible stories
• A “Think about It” section with three suggested life-application exercises to encourage finding comfort and hope in God’s Word
