The Generous Family Magazine is a Christian print magazine for kids ages 4 to 12. It's made by Candace Cameron Bure and the Generous Family team, and it shows up in the mailbox six times a year. Every issue is packed with stories, comics, recipes, puzzles and Bible truth that help kids know Jesus and live generously.
If you've been looking for something wholesome your kids will actually want to read, this is it. No screens. Just a real magazine with their name on the envelope.
Who is it for?
Kids ages 4 to 12, and honestly, the whole family. Every issue has pages made for both little and big readers.
- Little readers (4 to 7): coloring pages, seek-and-find scenes, and read-aloud stories to enjoy with a parent.
- Big readers (8 to 12): chapter stories they read on their own, crosswords, Scripture puzzles, and Kid Reporter interviews.
Got both? Perfect. Most families read it together, so everyone finds their page.
What's inside every issue?
Each issue follows a theme. The first one is the Live to Give issue. Here's what kids can count on every time the mailbox opens:
- A comic adventure. Denny, Bonnie and friends in a brand-new, laugh-out-loud story.
- A family devotion. A short Bible reading to do together, with a question to talk about.
- A recipe to share. Bake something together, then give some of it away.
- Kid Reporter. A real kid interviews someone who is living generously.
- Jokes. Clean, silly, and made for sharing at the dinner table.
- A pull-out poster. A Scripture verse to hang on the wall and memorize together.
The Live to Give issue also includes a chapter story about Sam and a runaway monkey on his first day of 7th grade, a checklist called 20 Ways to Be a Big-Hearted Giver, a true story about Nelly and Tech Lit Africa, and a kindness jar project kids can build at home.
