Book Description:
Connect Kids to Jesus This Easter
This 90-day devotional encourages boys and girls ages 6 to 10 to recognize Jesus in God's big plan for the world and its people. Filled with beautiful, playful illustrations, each reading includes:
- Engaging stories from Genesis to Revelation
- Bible text from easy-to-understand versions
- "Explore More" reading suggestions
- "Talk to God" prayer starters
- Daily truths to remember
- And "Did You Know?" fun facts ranging through history and spanning the globe
Award-winning and best-selling authors Crystal Bowman and Teri McKinley, along with illustrator Anita Schmidt, shine a spotlight on Jesus throughout the whole Bible—from His role at creation, to Old Testament prophecies and metaphors about the coming Savior, to the birth of God’s Son, to His present seat beside the Father.
Featuring selections from the popular Our Daily Bread for Kids: 365 Devotions from Genesis to Revelation, this edition makes a meaningful gift for the kids in your life at Easter, baptism, dedication, or any time! Children will discover for themselves God’s desire to be known and how He made a way through Jesus.
My Thoughts: Perfect
I think this is a perfect devotional for children. The passages are a perfect length for children and include questions along the way to aid in discussion. Each story also has a Talking to God section that helps guide prayer. It also includes a Did You Know section that has a fun fact connected to the story. Each page is visually appealing, and the font is easy to read.
The suggested ages are 6 - 10, with the grade levels being Kindergarten - 3rd. However, with some of the vocabulary that is used, I feel the devotional is better suited for ages 7 - 11 and grade levels as mid to late 1st grade - 3rd.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book. All comments and opinions are voluntary and completely my own.
