Christopher & Christina Meet Timothy: The Young Believer

Timothy may have been young, but his faith had already begun at home. His grandmother Lois and mother Eunice taught him the Scriptures from an early age, helping him grow into a young man who was ready to serve God.

When Christopher and Christina meet Timothy, they discover that feeling nervous or small does not mean you cannot do something important. With encouragement from Timothy and the apostle Paul, they learn that every day brings a new opportunity to live out their faith and set a positive example.

Through this inspiring Bible-based adventure, children will discover:

• Why Timothy’s faith began with his family
• How young people can serve God
• Why age does not limit what God can do through a willing heart
• How to set an example through words, actions, and love
• The importance of courage, faith, and trusting God’s plan

The book also includes a simple prayer, discussion questions, a Bible-based introduction to the real Timothy, and a drawing activity that encourages children to think about how they can be brave examples of faith in their own lives.

A meaningful addition to Christian children’s libraries, Sunday school resources, family reading time, and faith-based learning, Christopher & Christina Meet Timothy reminds every young reader: You are never too young to live for God.
