Inhaltsangabe

Parents will appreciate this thoughtful daily devotional that helps children develop good prayer and quiet time habits and encourages them to turn to the Bible for answers to real-life situations. Authors Susan Garrett and Amy Plantinga Pauw are both seminary professors and uniquely qualified to underpin their book with sound biblical theology. Their practical experiences as mothers make each devotion kid-friendly and applicable. Making Time for God deals honestly with difficult topics such as race, diverse religious traditions, divorce, and jealousy. It introduces children to many of the best-known and best-loved stories of the Bible but doesn't shy away from harder to understand passages such as the story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God. Each of the 366 entries includes a solid Scripture passage, a reflective meditation, and a prayer. It's appropriate for elementary age kids to read alone or for families to read together. Those who are looking for the perfect gift for special occasions and parents who want to jump-start a devotional time with their kids will appreciate this handsome and thoughtful book.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

At last-a children's devotional with substance! This unique daybook is the perfect way to start your children on an exploration of the Bible, while helping them develop a strong pattern of daily devotions and prayer. The authors, who are both mothers and seminary professors, combine biblical teaching with engaging stories that kids can identify with, as well as thoughts for personal application. Representing the richness of Scripture, Making Time for God draws from most books of the Bible, not just a few familiar stories, and includes both the best-loved Bible verses and the harder to understand passages. This devotional also deals honestly with difficult topics such as race, diverse religious traditions, divorce, and jealousy. The 366 entries emphasize the seasons of the church year and correlate to the secular calendar as well. Elementary-age kids will enjoy reading these devotions alone, or families can read them together out loud. With Making Time for God, you will set your children's feet on the path to good devotional habits and encourage them to turn to the Bible for answers to real-life situations.
