This deeply encouraging devotional is inspired by the words of Jesus in the New Testament. From His teaching and preaching to Jesus' miracles and parables, the kids in your life will read the life-changing, memorable words of Christ alongside a relevant devotion guaranteed to motivate and challenge them to grow in their faith. 180 devotions touch on important life themes including: "You are the light of the world. You cannot hide a city that is on a mountain" (Matthew 5:14) and "Pray for those who do bad things to you and who make it hard for you" (Matthew 5:44). Featuring kid-friendly scripture passages from the New Life Version of the Bible!
This is a book of devotions for kids that makes sense. It goes through the gospels, sharing particular verses. It then not only explains what the verses mean, but also connects them to the child's life in a way that makes sense, or asks questions and gives explanations that should help it make sense for the kid to understand. And then each day's devotion ends with a simple prayer.
I would recommend this for middle grade elementary through maybe junior high/middle school age. I think it would be a bit too juvenile for high schoolers. This could be used independently or as part of a small group study.
Thank you to the publisher for providing me a review copy via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
