20 Psalms and Devotions to Help Children Learn More about Who God IsThe Psalms are full of “You Are” statements—like “You are my rock and fortress” found in Psalm 31. For generations, Christians have used these phrases to praise God for who he is and what he has done for his people. These short, simple statements provide wonderful opportunities for parents to teach their children about the character of God and reflect on who he is in powerful ways. In this book, professor, pastor, and father William R. Osborne presents short devotionals around the 20 “You Are” statements found in the Psalms. Each devotional is followed by a short prayer that families can pray together as they read. Using a clear and warm style, Osborne provides a distinct connection between the gospel of Jesus Christ and God’s goodness, holiness, and mercy as they are illustrated in the Psalms.  For Children Ages 4–8Helps Young Readers Learn to Read the Psalms: Each devotion shows how the Psalms point to the New Testament, showing the connections between Old and New TestamentsEncourages Children to Pray: This book offers simple prayers that parents and children can read and say together as they echo the words of the psalmistScripture Memorization: Great tool to help children memorize scripture about the character of GodIllustrated by Brad Woodard: Cofounder of Brave the Woods, a creative studio that specializes in illustration, branding, and education
