“Preteen Devotional for Boys is an age-appropriate, sensitively written devotional packed full of God’s promises for His young men. Each devotional is filled with the truth of God’s word, words that will stick with preteens and help them to flourish amidst the challenges of this developmental stage. The devotionals are empathetic to what tweens face yet offer assurance that the reader is indeed a child of God, no matter what he is going through. Hansen does an excellent job connecting with the age of the reader and poses opportunities to go deeper in wonder and in study. I look forward to sharing this devotional with the young men in my school and personal life!” –Ann Steenwyk, head of school, Sheboygan Christian School
