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.
