52 Week Devotionals for Busy Families

This devotional was very intriguing to me because my daughter’s family is fostering two children. With two boys of their own they could use the flexibility to work around their busy schedules. The colorful border down the side or across the bottom of the pages will be inviting for the kids to look at during the devotional time. The multicultural children on the pages are important since one of the girls is bi-racial. It will comfort to have different races represented in the book. The memory verses are adaptable and can be shortened for the younger child. My favorite is the scrapbook and journaling options. Plenty of chat prompts can promote conversations among the family members. The bible story connection lasts only two minutes but it brings in biblical truths that are important for today’s youth. It was insightful of the author to include a read aloud story concerning children with food allergies. My niece’s child is usually forgotten because parents bring party items that she cannot eat. It can be hurtful to be left out. This book has fifty-two weeks of devotions suited to holidays and seasons. It is not necessary to wait until New Year’s Day to start the book. Just count the weeks of the calendar and jump right in. A free PDF of this book was provided by Rose Publishing for my honest review.
