Childhood and youth are times for asking questions, learning about our world and discovering who our Heavenly Father created us to be. These years can find us building meaningful relationships, but they can also be filled with loneliness, hurt and confusion. For many kids and teens, it’s a mix of all the above.

That’s why I’m happy to tell you about our 2022 gift catalogue for kids and teens. It’s full of hand-picked, biblically based resources for every age to help navigate these precarious and defining years. Every product is reviewed to ensure it will help build up the faith of the kids and teens in your life.

While I can recommend every resource in the entire catalog, here are a few I’d love to highlight for you.
