Book Review- "Think, Act, Be like Jesus"

This 90-Day devotional, written by Oak Hills Church pastor Randy Frazee, is part of the church-wide Believe campaign and encourages children to follow the footsteps of Jesus. Think, Act, Be Like Jesus; A Believe Devotional for Kids shares the message that the more you believe, the more Jesus can change you from the inside out to become the best person you can be.

My Review:

Thank you Zondervan for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.

"Think, Act, Be like Jesus is a 90 day devotional geared at kids in the tween age unless you as the parent read through the devotional with younger children. The devotionals still have pictures, scripture, application, and prayer.

The book is broken into three categories- Think like Jesus, Act like Jesus, and Be like Jesus. Our goal should be growing closer to him and becoming like him. Think of it like you start to model and sound like the people you hang out with most so make sure you are hanging out and getting to know Jesus more so your actions become like his.

I really liked this devotional and even though the front cover says, "for kids" I think big kids can appreciate this story or new believers.

Zondervan sells this book or $12.99 so make sure to pick up your copy!

I did review Randy Frazee's younger kids boko, "Believe" if you want to read my review.

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.
