First Steps Together





What a beautiful book to behold. The bold colors and bright outlines around the Baby Bites and Toddler Tips is inviting. When I first agreed to review this book I thought it was similar to others I had seen and would be a simple little lesson that toddlers could understand, maybe a little activity or story. But this books seems like a How To-grow your own spiritual life in order to live it for your children. The last section of the book is “Modeling” in front of your children spiritual disciplines: modeling prayer, modeling giving, modeling honor and modeling service. How wonderful to show young parents how to model. This resource is full of personal stories and tales of leaning on God while learning how to parent. One of my favorite sections is the Trail Map getting to know God and listing his attribute. Each of the 52 devotions has a Meditate-on scripture; Anticipate-reflection questions; and Relate-sharing encouragement; Touch Point Activities featuring 12 different types. Some of my favorite Psalms are used in the meditations. Thank you Rose Publishing allowing me the privilege of reviewing this resource.
