Children’s Corner: The Bible Is My Best Friend Family Devotional

10 Dec

51xJ27H1GVL._SX404_BO1,204,203,200_Gather the family and spend some time with your best friend — the Bible!

From best-selling author Sheila Walsh, The Bible Is My Best Friend Family Devotional connects families both to God’s Word and to each other. Fifty-two key scriptures form the basis for the devotions, which build on the verses, challenge the family to commit them to memory, and explore how each verse is part of God’s wonderful message. “Let’s Talk” questions urge the family to discuss what they’ve learned and offer challenges for different ages of children as well as their parents.

This unique family devotional touches both the mind and the heart. Minds will grow as the text builds on past weeks by reviewing memory work and themes. But most importantly, hearts will grow as families learn together to value the gifts found in the Bible and realize how God’s Word can be their greatest friend.

She is the author of the #1 best-selling line of Christian books for little girls, Gigi, God’s Little Princess. Sheila is the creator of Children of Faith and the Gnoo Zoo, a ministry to children that communicates God’s love for them. She is the author of several books for women including Honestly, Gifts for Your Soul, Living Fearlessly, and The Best Devotions of Sheila Walsh, The Shelter of God’s Promises and her latest book, God Loves Broken People And Those Who Pretend They’re Not. As an accomplished musician, Sheila has recently released the CD Beauty From Ashes. Sheila, her husband, Barry and their son, Christian live in Dallas, Texas.

 

My Impressions:

Start the New Year out right with a family devotional from best-selling author Sheila Walsh. The Bible Is My Best Friend Family Devotional can help your family connect with each other and God through 52 fun and innovative devotions. Designed to spur conversation with family members, discover the riches of God’s word and to hide His word in your heart, this book is the perfect gift for the whole family this Christmas. And it is the gift that keeps on giving! I love the way each week’s selection reinforces God’s truth and puts it into action with the family and beyond.

So if you are looking for a way to energize your family devotions and learn and grow together, I heartily recommend The Bible Is My Best Friend Family Devotional.

Recommended.

Book Review: 2 Devotionals for Kids

28 Nov

Write ‘em, Draw ‘em, Hide ‘em In Your Heart

742982Just Sayin’ isn’t your typical 90-day devotional for girls. It’s an all-out open space for you to explore and learn more about yourself and your faith. Prompts get your mind thinking, ideas flowing, and help turn your thoughts and emotions into dynamic doodles and so much more! Let that God-given gift of creativity shine each and every day!

Each of the short devotions is designed for girls just like you, with relevant topics, quotes, and Scripture, plus doodles, journal prompts, lists, puzzles, quizzes, fill-in-the-blank prayers, or unique activities. They explore Bible truths and ways to apply them—everyday. Just Sayin’ challenges girls to follow Jesus every day. Best. Idea. Ever.

 

 

Draw It, Write It, Dare to Live It!

742975Dare U 2 Open this Book is not your typical 90-day devotional for guys. It’s an all-out open space for you to explore and learn more about yourself and your faith. Get your mind thinking and your creative ideas flowing, turn your thoughts and emotions into dynamic doodles, fill in the prayer blanks, solve puzzles, and more.

Each of the short devotions includes a topic, quote, and Scripture summary, plus doodles, journal prompts, lists, puzzles, quizzes, fill-in-the-blank prayers, or other unique activities that explore Bible truths and ways to apply them—everyday. Dare U 2 Open this Book challenges guys to follow Jesus. Best. Idea. Ever.

 

carol-mcadams-moore-72dpi-3-copy(From the author’s website) Carol McAdams Moore writes for tweens and for children who are just beginning to read. She writes for the Christian and general markets. Her prayer is that children will discover that Jesus is more amazing than we can imagine!

Besides being a writer, she is a teacher, a wife, and a parent. She lives in the Midwest with her husband, her pug (Milo), and her cat (Luna).

 

My Impressions:

Looking for a way to engage your 8-12 year old with the Word of God? Then you need to check out Carol McAdams Moore’s devotionals, Just Sayin’ (for girls) and Dare U 2 Open This Book (for boys). Each book has 3 months worth of devotions that will get your child thinking and reading through questions, journaling and doodling. The books are more than just a quick Bible reading and telling you what to think. Instead, they get your child thinking on their own about important issues such as what plans God has for them and what they need to change to start to look just like Christ. Challenging and interactive, both of these books will grab your kids and lead them to deeper study, prayer and relationship with God. Perfect for gift giving, I recommend both of these books.

Recommended.

Audience: children ages 8-12
