Leyland, England, UK – September 2026. 10Publishing
It’s almost ten years since Scripture Union released this flagship resource, and since then it has become one of the most widely used and significant children’s resources in Britain. It is now set to reach a global audience through a new gospel partnership with 10Publishing (part of 10ofthose.com).
Created for 8–11-year-olds, Diary of a Disciple enables kids to read the Bible through contemporary storytelling, quirky humour and distinctive illustrations by Emma Randall. Biblical narratives are retold through the eyes of relatable first-person storytellers, beginning with Dr Luke in Luke’s Story, helping children engage with Jesus whether they are already following him or exploring faith for the first time.
What began as a single book has grown into a wide-ranging collection, including the award-winning Luke’s Story and Peter and Paul’s Story, alongside holiday/VBS and after-school clubs, activity books, journals, school workshops and discipleship resources. Together, the resources help children encounter the Bible, discover who Jesus is, respond to him and grow in faith.
The impact of Diary of a Disciple extends far beyond publishing. It has become a key doorway through which churches, schools and kids’ workers introduce children to Jesus both for outreach and discipleship.
The partnership with 10ofthose marks an important next stage in the life of the series, enabling the Diary of a Disciple range to be printed and distributed across the world.
As part of this partnership, a new title, John’s Story, is in development, and due for release in 2027. The expansion of the series strengthens further what is now one of Scripture Union’s most influential and important product families.
Please be in prayer for this new partnership and the flourishing of the gospel through the distribution of this series.

It’s a tremendous privilege to partner with SU to see, we trust, hundreds of thousands of this series go out across the world and reach many kids for Christ.” Jonathan Carswell President of 10ofthose
