SOAK UP THE SUMMER
: A Fun Family Devotional for Growing Faith and Making Memories

Summer flies by and so does the chance to build lasting faith habits with our kids. In Soak Up the Summer, bestselling family-discipleship author Katie J. Trent offers ninety day-by-day devotions organized around twelve fun and memorable weekly themes—Connect, Create, Conquer, Celebrate, Cook, Care, Craft, Courage, Carry, Comfort, Change, and Commit—that guide the whole family into Scripture together, one memory-making moment at a time. Each devotion pairs a relatable story from Katie’s own home with a Bible verse, a short teaching, a guided prayer, discussion questions, and a hands-on activity, everything from pruning bushes and treasure hunts to sun catchers and talent shows; so kids from preschool through the tween years can see and feel the truths they’re learning.

Six additional vacation-themed devotions help families carry their faith on the road, covering everything from packing with purpose to praying through delays, and a Boredom Busters appendix in the back offers dozens of simple, low-cost ideas for weaving discipleship into any ordinary summer day. Written by a licensed clinical social worker, veteran homeschool mom, and founder of the Family Faith-Building Academy, Soak Up the Summer equips busy parents to slow down, connect with their kids, and connect their kids to Jesus. Whether read every morning over breakfast, packed for a week at the lake, or picked up whenever the family has ten spare minutes, this joyful, practical devotional helps families make the most of long summer days and turn them into memories with eternal impact.
