Amazing Stories for Young Believers recaps the remarkable stories about the characters, both men and women, in the Bible. Some of these people were incredibly strong, like Samson. Others were quiet and gentle, like Daniel and Ruth. The one thing they all had in common was that they loved the Lord with all their heart and dared to do big things for Him. This book tells their stories.
Amazing Stories for Young Believers is an adventure-filled devotional that will take kids (and adults) through the Bible to discover how God works through each person in unique ways to accomplish what He has planned.
The softcover book boasts a chalkboard-black cover emblazoned with a vibrantly colored title and oodles of doodles. A UV-varnish treatment adds shine to the design and raises the lettering of the tile. But the color doesn't stop there—each page is marked by a colorfully printed edge that is organized by the month of the year.
The book opens with a presentation page that can be personalized. 366 devotions follow a calendar year that starts in January and ends in December. The short devotions cover diverse topics such as sin, consequences, unforgiveness, faith, anxiety, and much more. Each month is dedicated to the lives of several Bible characters. Daily entries include suggested Bible passages, a recap of the biblical text, and practical life applications. Entries end with a daily Scripture verse to ponder. A topical index at the back of the book will guide readers toward a specific topic.
Pre-teens, ranging from 8-12, will find the language easy to understand and the stories and their lessons easy to relate to. While the devotionals are concise and clear, the thoughtful content will stimulate thoughtful questions and deep discussions between adults and children.
Consider stuffing the stockings of your elementary and middle school-aged children or grandchildren with Amazing Stories for Young Believers this Christmas and add a spiritual dimension to your gift-giving that will last the whole year.
