An excellent devotional to share with your family.
This is structured just like the first volume: Introductory paragraph, Bible story, and guiding questions with a pivotal question: What is confusing you? Following is a short reflection to guide your understanding a prayer prompt, activities to reinforce reading and some historical information or a fun fact to end on. It is very comprehensive.Yet, it can be used in order, or you can go directly to a certain topic. Whichever topic may be particularly relevant to your family.I love the way this devotional is laid out. It is divided by sections such as Jesus and Peter or Loving Our Enemies, followed by topic and verse. The reader can jump to any section or subsection. It is well-written, and the information is easy to understand. I look forward to sharing this devotional with my grandchildren.I received an ARC from Our Daily Bread Publishing through NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book. I am voluntarily submitting this review and am under no obligation to do so.

Great for upper elementary kids
I’ve been reading this Bible to my 5, 8, 10, and 11 year olds. I really like it. There’s a portion that sets up the Biblical account, then the verses from the Bible with questions, then a section that explains what you just read. After that, there’s a prayer prompt, a couple of hands-on activities, and then a section that explains the traditions behind that account.While all 4 kids listen (or pretend to), I think this is probably geared more toward older kids. Say, 10 and over. Of course, it’s never too early to plant those seeds in the younger kids, but they don’t seem to be getting a whole lot out of it. So as far as an entire family’s devotional Bible, I’d say no. But older elementary and up, it’s great for them.

Good for Family Time But Know Your Bible Yourself Before Using
The Bible stories are all from the New Testament and focus on Jesus and His relationships with other people, including his disciples and those He heals. I enjoyed the introductory story to each devotional as well as the follow up questions. Some of the activities that were included seemed too superficial, as if the author just had to come up with something quickly to balance the book out. I did not like the version of the Bible used (The Message), although it is understandable why that would be a logical choice for a devotional that focuses on children. I also think that the author added some of her own opinion at times. For example, there is a part in which she says that the Pharisees did not hate Jesus but just wanted Him to join them in their study at the temple. I have never seen or read that in the Scripture or any commentary, so that is either a loose interpretation or just an opinion that should have been noted as such. All in all, the book does what it set out to do. It provides a resource for family time devotionals and gives suggestions for how to accomplish this and delve deeper into God’s Word. I would recommend this book for families with children up to about grade 6 or 7.DisclaimerDisclosure of Material Connection: I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley.

Not What I Expected
I just got into devotionals not that long ago and wanted to also find a good family devotional but this was not it. I’m not sure exactly what I’m looking for but I know this wasn’t it. It was basically a cut and copy of other things. The scripture was taken right out of the book and then there were some questions listed about it. Something I could have definitely done on my own.I like when there are real life examples or a story, or some sort of explaination of the scripture and this gives you none of that.

I’m not sure that teaching children to follow because God said so is the best way to make good people. Good people develop empathy and critical thinking skills so they discover that living in the world is not the matter of one religion but of realizing the greater good is met through empathy. We need less of people deciding to follow one book over all else.

Helps Develop a Habit
This devotional was written to help families get together over the Bible. It provides a framework for ongoing family Bible study, with some suggestions on how to make the learning applicable for families with younger children. This is not useful for theological study, but will help create a habit of family study where questions can be explored.Four stars for this devotional. It hits the high points well, isn’t too long so that attention wanders, and is engaging for children. The Bible version quoted is easily understood by younger children, though you can simply substitute your preferred translation for the one in the book.
