About this ebook

Kids are wrestling with tough issues these days—peer pressure, purpose, unexpected change or loss, and wondering where their faith fits in with it all. Roar Like a Lion encourages your kids to "run toward the roar" as they face their fears, knowing that God is with them every step of the way.

Pastor and bestselling author Levi Lusko is known for making tough topics accessible while drawing his readers toward a richer spiritual life. In his first children's devotional for ages 6 to 10, Levi tackles real issues our kids face with a lighthearted and approachable tone. Kids are equipped to approach both fun moments and tough times with their hearts set on God's faithfulness with the help of fascinating stories and facts, eye-catching art, Bible verses, prayers, and simple action steps.

This 90-day devotional covers highly relevant topics such as:

• facing fears about school and friendships
• having courage to try something new
• handling new challenges, past disappointments, and grief
• dealing with peer pressure and bullying
• understanding how we each fit into God's great story

As a parent and pastor, Levi is able to address real-life situations with compassion, grace, and biblical authenticity. Roar Like a Lion is a great way to spark discussion with your kids on meaningful topics and get them in the habit of reading a biblically-based devotional.

Offering practical approaches to faith in everyday life, Roar Like a Lion will inspire your kids to nurture their personal faith in a God strong enough to protect and guide them as they run toward the roar during the challenges in their lives.

Ratings and reviews

Roar Like a Lion by Levi Lusko is a Christian devotional for kids ages 6 to 10 years old. I was excited to receive a copy of this book to read to my oldest son, who is 6. We have been reading other children’s devotionals, so I was happy to try a different author. My son loved the idea of being like a lion (like Jesus) and enjoyed several of the devotionals. I felt like there were some that were over his head, but he is at the bottom of the age range listed. I liked how the devotionals addressed several difficult topics children may encounter at school or in life in general, encouraging them to stand out for Jesus. My son also liked the special little “Did you Know?” and “Get Ready to Roar” excerpts in each devotional. Overall, I think this is an excellent addition to our kid’s bookshelves. We try to read something inspirational each night, and books like these make it easy to both gain my child’s attention and to teach him about Jesus. I would recommend this product to any parent looking for a devotional for their elementary-age kids. I was given a copy of this book by the publisher with no expectations of a positive review. All opinions are my own.
