Abijah: The Boy who Led a Kingdom

One small king. One impossible battle. One God who never fails.
When young Abijah became king of Judah, he inherited more than a throne — he inherited a war. Outnumbered two to one by Jeroboam’s mighty army, Abijah faced a choice: surrender, fight with fear, or trust the God who promised to be with His people. Standing on the slopes of Mount Zemaraim, Abijah called his people to faith — and watched God deliver a victory only He could win.
Today, kids face their own battles: peer pressure, impossible choices, fears that feel too big to face. In this modern-day parable, Austin discovers what it means to trust God when the odds are stacked against him — on the basketball court, in friendships, and in challenges far beyond the game.
In this modern-day Bible story children’s book from the Children of the Word Series, kids will:

• Step into Abijah’s world and experience his journey of faith and courage.
• Connect through a modern-day parable featuring Austin as he learns to trust God when life feels overwhelming.
• Discover an action plan designed to help kids apply biblical truths to real-life challenges.

Perfect for kids ages 6–12, this book brings Scripture to life through relatable storytelling and a gentle reminder:
“The odds don’t decide the outcome.
God does — and He never loses.”
Whether for bedtime reading, Sunday school, homeschool lessons, or family devotionals, Abijah — The Boy Who Led a Kingdom will inspire children to stand firm, trust God, and believe that no battle is too big for Him.
