My Review:
I remember several years ago I read the adult "Purpose Driven Life" with my husband. He was at the time only my boyfriend but we made it important to start a good foundation with devotionals being a big part of who we are. Now that we have been married for 9 years and have two children we are always trying to find new ways to encourage them in their relationship with their Daddy God. This kids version is geared for 9- 12 year olds. My daughter just had her 8th birthday and she really wants to read this book and so far she has been doing just fine. I imagine as she continues there might be more questions to answer for her.

I started to read the book as well because sometimes kids books can speak volumes to me. I realized I need to keep reading it when I read day two of "The Purpose Drive Life for Kids" when it asked a question that I have asked my self. Seriously though when you read in 1 Chronicles the long list of names that keep going I always say God why do I need to know all these names. This devotional reminded me that God Honors heritage and his followers and it is awesome to think about how all these names were so important to the nation of Isreal.

Each page of this devotional only takes a few minutes which makes doing a daily devotional simple. Getting my kids to read their bible and do a devotional is so vital to me as a mom. I hope they grow to love doing it as I never want it to become a chore for them my prayer is for them to want to do it all the time.

This devotional is only $15.99 on Zondervan. I recommend this for your kids or even yourself!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
