The Sanctuary of Childhood ~ Autumn Edition

A Christian devotional for children, rooted in Scripture and the beauty of nature study. 

Childhood is fleeting, yet holy. It is not merely preparation for adulthood, but a sacred season in its own right. In these years of wonder and mud-stained knees, of small hands reaching for yours, and questions whispered at bedtime, we glimpse something of the kingdom of God.

Sanctuary of Childhood was created to help you nurture this sacred time.

This is not a workbook of tasks. It is not busy work.

It is a gentle devotional companion for your child; simple, unhurried, and deeply rooted in God’s Word and the rhythms of the year.

What you’ll find inside:

• Scripture woven with nature ~ guiding your child to see God’s presence both in the Bible and in the natural world around them.
• Prayers and reflections written simply, so your child can engage with them directly.
• Invitations to notice ~ gentle prompts that open your child’s eyes to wonder, gratitude, and the holiness of ordinary days.
• Space to pause ~ no clutter, no fluff, just room for your child’s own encounter with God in the beauty of creation.

Why it’s unique

Unlike other devotional or study resources, Sanctuary of Childhood combines Christian faith with nature study in a way that feels authentic, practical, and deeply doable. It does not overwhelm you with busy work, but instead offers a quiet rhythm that can be lived with day by day.

A Note on Age Range

The Sanctuary of Childhood was written with children aged 6–12 in mind, the sweetest spot when faith, imagination, and a love for nature are blooming together. However, this is a very flexible resource; younger children will enjoy it alongside a parent’s gentle guidance, while older children often find comfort in its simplicity, returning to the quiet rhythms of noticing and wonder.
