Written Especially for Tweens, This Devotional Tackles 10 Important Questions about Salvation

Everyone has questions about religion, but when you’re young, finding the answers can be difficult. Some books are too complex and others don’t dive deeply enough into the faith topics that matter most to kids and teens. So where can young readers go to grow in their understanding of God and his word?

The 10 Questions series invites children ages 8–14 to investigate spiritual questions and provides reliable theological and practical answers on their level. The first book, 10 Questions about Salvation, helps readers find joy, security, and hope in God’s gracious love. Each 10 Questions book presents one main topic, poses 10 vital questions on the topic, and answers each question through 3 short devotions. Readers can work through the 30 readings in any order they choose. Written to be read alone or aloud with family, 10 Questions about Salvation is the perfect way to start or end each day reflecting on the things of God.

  • Faith-Building Devotional for Kids and Teens: With 30 devotional readings, prayers, and reflection questions, this book makes a great supplement to regular Bible study 
  • Comprehensive: The 10 questions range from the content of the Bible to the experience of living out your personal faith 
  • Flexible: The 10 questions can be read in any order—alone or as a family 
  • The First Book of the 10 Questions Series: Forthcoming volumes will cover topics including suffering, the Bible, identity, and technology

“Nothing is more important to parents than the salvation of our children. Yet it can be difficult to have meaningful conversations about it with our kids. In this clear and concise book, Champ Thornton provides families with an engaging resource to talk about the need for salvation and the Savior who meets that need.”
Nancy Guthrie, author, The One Year Praying through the Bible for Your Kids

“It can be so difficult to know where to begin or what resources are available for family devotions. For that reason, I am so thankful for this excellent series for kids, teens, and families from Crossway! Champ Thornton’s volume, 10 Questions about Salvation, is a wonderful starting place for any parents who want to have important spiritual conversations with their children. These warm and engaging devotions are the perfect length to help your family grow together as you talk about God’s gracious salvation for all who believe.”
Melissa B. Kruger, author; Vice President of Discipleship Programming, The Gospel Coalition

10 Questions about Salvation provides upper elementary and older teens with a resource to help them understand the path to salvation in Christ. I love the prayers and reflections that follow each devotion, which call readers to consider their own lives and help them discern where they stand regarding the truth they just learned. Champ Thornton effectively explains difficult questions simply, with everyday illustrations kids will understand—a well-written youth discipleship and family resource.”
Marty Machowski, Executive Pastor, Covenant Fellowship Church, Glen Mills, Pennsylvania; author, The Ology and The Redemption Tales

“I cannot wait to put this volume in the hands of students! Champ Thornton communicates deep truths in a clear, accessible manner. He is pastoral in his approach, so any parent or pastor could place this in the hands of young students, knowing that they will be well cared for. He patiently explains terms and lingo, guarding from any assumptions about the reader. Everyone should stock their churches with copies of this book to hand out to anyone (young or old) seeking to know what true salvation is.”
John Perritt, Director of Resources, Reformed Youth Ministries; author; father of five

“Champ Thornton has crafted a simple yet powerful resource that will benefit both parents and children of all ages. Through clear, Scripture-based answers and easy-to-grasp illustrations, this devotional beautifully unpacks the life-giving truths of salvation. Whether you are a parent seeking to present the gospel to your children or an individual of any age searching for answers, this book will be an invaluable guide on your spiritual journey.”
Leslie Nunnery, Cofounder, Teach Them Diligently; author, Teach Them Diligently and Heart School

“Champ Thornton takes on the biggest, most important, and essential questions a family will ever have to face, and he’s worked them into an approachable devotional guide. He equips parents to overcome all the intimidation of potentially daunting, critical topics of faith and salvation, and he’s made it easy for us to have some beautiful family conversations about them. Every single Christian family needs this resource.”
Adam Griffin, Lead Pastor, Eastside Community Church, Dallas, Texas; Host, The Family Discipleship Podcast; coauthor, Family Discipleship

“Champ Thornton has struck the right balance. Young families need both brevity and substance—and that can be hard to find. The question-and-answer format engaged our whole family, with kids ranging from ages seven to fourteen. These ten truths about salvation are too important to hope that they might simply be caught in a Christian home. Let’s make sure they are clearly taught. This book will help.”
David Mathis, Senior Teacher and Executive Editor, Desiring God; Pastor, Cities Church, Saint Paul, Minnesota; author, Habits of Grace

“Sometimes, we feel like asking a ton of questions is dumb. But when it comes to God and salvation, asking questions is the smartest and best thing we can do! I love how Champ Thornton anticipates our questions and points us to Jesus and his word—the only source of perfect truth. Read on, and your faith in God’s Son will be strengthened!”
Kristen Wetherell, author, Help for the Hungry Soul and What Makes You Beautiful

“Clarity is always important, but there is no topic on which clarity is more critical than salvation. This book offers a clear, accessible explanation of the gospel and salvation in digestible bites. Filled with theological richness in easy-to-read, low-time-commitment installments, it functions as an achievable devotional tool for preteens and teenagers.”
Cameron Cole, Founding Chairman, Rooted Ministry
