Faith Kids Christian books and resources are loaded with teachable moments that allow you to share God's love with youngsters. Faith Kidz is the Christian parents' choice for engaging, interactive books, toys, and games that develop godly character in children (0-12 years of age). Published by Cook Communications Ministries.

The Rocket Reader books are supplemental leveled readers designed to launch children who are learning to read into the wonderful world of words using biblical concepts.

The five levels each emphasize a different aspect of reading, using level-appropriate language. The books within each set are stored in a durable and attractive slipcover case. Each page is designed to remove intimidating barriers between the new reader and the adventure of reading: only one to three lines are printed on each page, the front is accessible, and the art is engaging and humorous.

Each book includes hands-on faith and reading help for parents, including a Faith Parenting Guide in each book.
