What does 'salvation' mean?
One child's question at the dinner table became a conversation that changed everything. Jesus in My Heart gives you the words to answer that question with clarity, warmth, and simplicity children can grasp.
If you've ever wondered how to explain salvation to a child, or how to talk about the gospel in a way that truly makes sense, this book was created for you.
Unlike many children's Christian books, this is more than a story. It is a simple, visual tool designed to help children ages 4-8 understand the meaning of salvation and what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
Based on a real-life napkin drawing conversation, it uses the memorable imagery of a throne, a door, and a closet to turn big spiritual ideas into something a child can see, understand, and remember.
Inside this book, your child will discover:
- The Heart of the Gospel - A clear and personal understanding of who Jesus is and why knowing Him matters.
- The Invitation - What it means to open the door of their heart and respond to Jesus.
- The Journey - How to follow Jesus as their Leader-making good choices at home, at school, and with friends.
Perfect for Older Children Too:
While this book is designed for children ages 4-8, it has been successfully used with older children (up to 12) who are preparing for baptism, confirmation, or first communion, or exploring faith for the first time. The throne, door, and closet metaphor makes salvation understandable to children of all ages-meeting them where they are in their spiritual journey.
Designed to Equip Parents, Grandparents, and Leaders This book doesn't leave you guessing what to say next.
With a built-in Parent Guide and thoughtful Discussion Questions, you'll feel confident walking through one of the most important conversations you'll ever have -whether at bedtime, around the dinner table, or in a Sunday school classroom.
BONUS FEATURES:
- Interactive Pages - Children can draw their own Heart Map and write or draw their first prayer.
- Parent Discussion Guide - Four clear, age-appropriate questions that help children understand and apply what they've learned.
- Words to Know - Simple definitions of key faith concepts like God, Jesus, and Salvation.
BUY ONE. GIVE ONE. CHANGE TWO LIVES.
For every book purchased, a copy is given to a child in an unreached region through Strategic Global Missions.
Because the most important conversation you'll ever have deserves the right words.
