Description

This charming rhyming book celebrates God’s good design for our hands, motivating children aged 3+ to use their hands to glorify God.  

Children will be inspired by all the creative and interesting things their hands can do—they can even use them to bring comfort and joy to others! They’ll discover that Jesus had hands just like ours and that he always used his hands in the most amazing ways, including to save us. 

Not only that: the way that Jesus used his hands means that we can be forgiven when we use our hands in the wrong way. Children are invited to pray for forgiveness when they make mistakes, and for help to use their hands in the ways God intends. The book’s fun rhyming style and colourful illustrations make it easy to engage with this life-altering message of repentance, forgiveness, and grace-fuelled obedience. 

Your Amazing Hands is part of the Training Young Hearts series, which consists of board books for toddlers as well as rhyming books for children over 3. All the books in the series train young hearts through the gospel, both by showing Jesus as an example and by explaining how his grace enables us to change. Parents, teachers and other loved ones can refer back to these resources when specific behaviours need to be both corrected and connected to forgiveness, grace and growth.

One of the most important ways we can train young children is to teach them what is right as well as teach them what is wrong. In the Training Young Hearts series Abbey Wedgeworth faithfully shows children how to live while also telling them the good news of God’s grace. These board books are such an engaging (and fun!) way to teach big truths to young hearts.

The Training Young Hearts board books will help parents encourage positive behavior through one of the most effective methods of learning—play! These engaging books will not only instruct kids but parents too, by equipping both with training refrains based in biblical truths. Abbey has provided us with an incredible tool to help us clearly and intentionally communicate with our kiddos in a way that points to them to Jesus.

“Our Ultimate Help”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

Written by Abbey Wedgeworth, Your Amazing Hands is a Training Young Hearts rhyming book that will help your kids see our hands as a gift to be used for God.

I love this series of books because they are a theology for our bodies! I’m especially thankful that they point to God – naming him as our maker and our creator. Jesus used his hands to heal and to help others – something we should do as well.


Our Ultimate Help

The book points to Jesus as spreading his hands out on the cross, to forgive our sins and to give us new life in him. The illustrations by Emma Randall do an outstanding job of showcasing the beauty, diversity, and help that our hands can do.

I often tell my kids that our hands our for helping – not for hurting. This book helps me point them to Jesus as our perfect example – and our ultimate help.


I received a media copy of Your Amazing Hands and this is my honest review.

“Fun to read, great message for little children and big children alike.”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

This is such a joyful little book.
I love the rhyme and the message.

Not only does this delightful book encourage doing good with our hands, but it also reminds us what to do when our hands don't do good.

The gospel message of Jesus' love, death, burial, and resurrection shines through alongside the simplicity that Jesus always loves us and one day we'll have hands just as good as His are.

I would highly recommend this book to any Christian family that has preschoolers. The rhyming and the pictures of the children will keep them engaged and interested.

Your Amazing Hands would also be great in any church nursery or young Sunday school or children's church classroom.

“The "director’s cut" of that board book”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

This is based on a toddler’s board book What Are Hands For? that I previously reviewed from the same author and illustrator. Basically it’s the director’s cut of that book. There are more words, artworks and pages geared for older kids. So the gospel and Christian living part has an expanded explanation.
As usual, the artwork is spot on with the content. Now that this is an extended book, there are lots of illustrations to enjoy. Emma Randall gave more of her art which means more scenes and color that kids will love.

“Perfect addition to Training Young Hearts!”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

Our family has been wonderfully impacted by the whole Training Young Hearts series, and this book is no exception. I love Abbey's heart to take every opportunity to communicate the gospel to our kids, and this book does just that. Highly recommend this book, and each one in this series!

“Gospel-centered book that would be a great addition to any children's library.”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

Delightful and diverse illustrations with easy rhymes for kids to learn about all the good things God has created our hands to do, those things we ought not to do, and bringing it home to the most important thing - what Jesus has done for us. The focus on heart change over behavior change is something I think is important to discuss with kids and also greatly lacking in children’s literature. This is a great addition to the “Training Young Hearts” series and I love to see more gospel-centered books on the market for children.

“Makes pointing to the gospel easy”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

This book has beautiful illustrations as it teaches kids to apply the Gospel to the use of their hands. The fun rhyming structure makes it a book both parents and children will enjoy reading again and again. It also gives parents a reference point to use in daily discipleship moments when conflicts arise outside of reading the book. We love this series!

“You NEED this in your library”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

I think this series is a MUST have for Christian home libraries. What a beautiful way to help teach our children how God made them and how they can live a holy life. Plus the illustrations are darling and diverse and so fun.

“A powerful message in a simple and easy to understand little book!”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

A perfect, delightful addition to our daughter’s bookshelf! I adore this book and can’t recommend it enough! Easily geared towards toddler or Kindergartner alike, this book appeals to children with gentle, rhyming words and vibrant, fun illustrations. I love the size and square format for our shelves (we have the hardcover version) and the message inside could not be more clear, concise or true!

As a Christian parent, I really appreciate the strong salavation message in this book and applaud the author and publisher for it’s release. The book starts out by sharing all the wonderful things little hands CAN do (such as digging, painting and tidying rooms to comforting others and cheering them on), to remind children they were CREATED by God, and when their hands do something we’re NOT supposed to do (like pushing or hitting), it begins to tell children about Jesus’ hands and the things His hands did, especially on the cross when He DIED for our sins. I love that the story works in praying for forgiveness and asking God for help to obey, to do what is right.

This is sure to be a beloved favorite (even more than Hands Are Not For Hitting!) among young children. It would make a great birthday gift, wonderful addition to a local child’s library and/or used in a classroom as a school or church resource!

* I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts are my own and I was not required to write a positive review.

“A new favourite from the Training Young Hearts series”

(Review written for 'Your Amazing Hands')

Our kids (7,5,1) all loved Abbey Wedgeworth's board books from the same series (and they remain our weekly reads, not if daily!), so when this new rhyming book came out, we were all super excited. This picture book presents a similar message with a similar structure, aimed at a slightly older audience. We love how colourful and captivating Emma Randall's illustrations are, and how gospel-centred and relatable Abbey's writing is. This is a resource I'd recommend to every family who'd like to teach their children how to use their body parts for God's glory, and how to find grace and help in our perfect and compassionate Lord Jesus. Can't wait for her next books!

Note: Thank you @thegoodbookau for a free copy in exchange for my honest review.
