Morning, afternoon, or a cozy evening — any time is a good time to read with your child and plant seeds that will bless them for a lifetime.

Book One

The Adventures of Tedward: My Best Friend

Hardcover Collector's Edition and Paperback Edition

In The Adventures of Tedward: My Best Friend, your family will be swept into the warmth of DG and Sasa's farm, where two young brothers — Eli and Liam — discover the most important truths in the world through the eyes of their beloved golden retriever, Teddy. Told in sixteen warm, story-filled chapters, this heartwarming journey walks children through the foundations of faith: God's unconditional love, the problem of sin, Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection, what it means to say yes to Jesus, baptism, prayer, reading the Bible, and growing in the fruit of the Spirit. Each chapter includes Scripture, “Think About It” questions, and a simple prayer — making it easy for parents to lead meaningful conversations about Jesus, whether they are brand new to faith or have walked with Him for years.

We all spend our lives looking for real truth — especially children. The world has plenty of voices competing to satisfy that longing on its terms. Instead, use your voice to fill your children's hearts with real truth. The Adventures of Tedward gives you that voice. Don't miss this chance to plant eternal seeds of blessing in the hearts of the ones you love most.

Books Two through Eight

The Adventures of Tedward: Life Lessons

The Life Lessons books are designed for the whole family, from ages 3 to 93. Don't just read to your children—teach them! Each chapter gives families a big idea, Scripture, questions to discuss, and a prayer to share, with engaging stories for children and a Digging Deeper Bible study for parents and other adults.

Parents can read Digging Deeper ahead of time, explore the Scriptures, and consider the reflection questions so they're ready for the questions their children may ask.

Book Two — Life Lessons

The Adventures of Tedward: Learning to Listen

Coming before the end of 2026

Teddy is DG's champion golden retriever, ready to follow his master's voice. When DG brings Hubble, a scruffy Griffon puppy from the shelter, home to the farm, Teddy becomes a patient big brother. Together with Eli and Liam, they discover that learning to listen to God begins with love and trust.

Nine big ideas to discover

  1. Love First: God loves us first, and His instructions flow from that love.
  2. The Search: Listening to God and obeying Him can lead us to the good gifts He has prepared.
  3. Hubble Trouble: God's discipline helps His children grow; it is not about making them pay.
  4. Running Free: Obeying God brings greater freedom rather than taking it away.
  5. Shiny Things: When God says “no,” He protects us from dangers we may not see.
  6. Waiting Contest: Being still and waiting on God prepares us for what is ahead.
  7. Obstacle Course: Give God your best instead of settling for “good enough.”
  8. Twenty Minutes: Spending a little time with God each day adds up to lasting growth.
  9. Let's Try Again: God does not give up on us when we make mistakes; He helps us try again.

A book designed for every generation

  • For young children: A large-print story that little listeners can enjoy and beginning readers can follow.
  • For older children: “Off the Leash” continues the adventure, followed by what the dogs and the boys learned.
  • For families together: Don't just read to your children—teach them! Hank's Wisdom, a big idea, a key verse, discussion questions, and a bedtime prayer help parents guide meaningful conversations.
  • For teens and adults: “Digging Deeper” gives parents, grandparents, and other older readers a devotional Bible study with Scripture passages written out in full, a bottom line, and reflection questions. Parents can read it ahead of time to be ready for their children's questions.
