Help your kids understand God’s promises with two Charles Spurgeon daily devotions for kids. These cute devotional books make great gifts!


Charles Spurgeon Devotions for Kids
There is much to be learned from Christians throughout history.

Often, historic Christians address different issues, in different ways, than Christians today do. There is value in hearing from the believers of the past.


Take your kids through the Bible in just three years! Try out Bible Road Trip™ with a free three-week sample pack.


In fact, I love to remember what Hebrews 12:1-2, ESV, says:

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

That great cloud of witnesses we are surrounded by includes Christ-followers past and present. We are edified and encouraged by the Church–the Body of Christ. How great is that? And, one day we will meet the people who took the time to write for us, and whose stories we read about.

Hey! There’s a book giveaway in this post!

Charles Spurgeon

Charles Spurgeon, often called the Prince of Preachers, lived from 1834-1892 and preached as a Reformed Baptist in London for 38 years. A prolific writer and speaker, Spurgeon often preached to more than 10,000 people at a time.

Recently, as I was doing research for a book I’m working on, I learned that Spurgeon was a staunch abolitionist. In fact, he suffered death threats for teaching that chattel slavery is a sin. I’ve also seen commentary on the fact that Charles Spurgeon and Karl Marx were both spreading their (very different) messages in London at the same time. Charles Spurgeon is a fascinating historical figure!

Today, more than a century after his death, Spurgeon is well known for his daily devotionals. The Chequebook of the Bank of Faith is a year-long devotional focusing on the promises of God.

I want to thank Christian Focus Publications for sending me copies of God’s Promises Kept and More of God’s Promises Kept, and one of each to give away. This review is my own and is not sponsored.

Daily Devotions for Kids

Charles Spurgeon’s writing, while valuable for even young readers, is a bit antiquated all these years later. Not only has language changed, his devotional (sometimes titled Faith’s Checkbook) was written for adults. Prolific Christian children’s author Catherine MacKenzie has adapted Faith’s Checkbook into short devotions for kids in modern language.

God’s Promises Kept and More of God’s Promises Kept are perfect for sharing the wisdom of one of the members of the “great cloud of witnesses” mentioned in Hebrews with our our kids.

The books contain 21 and 22 devotions, respectively.

Each devotion includes:

  • A title with the theme
  • The original date of the devotion in The Chequebook of the Bank of Faith
  • A Bible verse
  • A short statement about the theme
  • A winsomely written devotional explaining the theme, inspired by Spurgeon’s original writing, but updated for modern children
  • What you should do – a suggestion to grow in faith
  • A short prayer

These short devotions are perfect for reading over breakfast, at bedtime, or for your children to read on their own!

    Wow, this is amazing. Just this morning, I was reading a Spurgeon devotional to my kids and thinking wouldn’t it be great if the language was a little more accessible to them! This is timely and helpful information!

    I read Spurgeon 20 years ago in college. He was fantastic! I learned so much, and it would be fantastic for our daughter, an avid reader, to read Spurgeon,…my only regret is my age when I discovered Spurgeon–33!
