I just bought this to use with my 5 yr. old. She LOVES animals & nature. This devotional is perfect for her.

There are 45 creatures discussed in this book. Each devotion starts off talking about a creature and it's habits. Then, that info is used to correlate it to what the Bible says about that particular behavior. The next section asks about that aspect in the child's life. Lastly, a memory verse accompanies each devotion.

Not only are you learning a memory verse, having self reflection, doing character building, and learning what the Bible has to say about various traits and behaviors, you are also getting a lesson in nature and science. Even I am learning things about God's creatures that I didn't know.

This book wins hands down over any other devotional I've looked at. The reading is easily understood by children; it's not too deep for them. I think it's awesome having a book like this that discusses things readily available in our world/environment, and it seems that children can easily relate to the creatures behaviors/traits being discussed. It uses simple, curious traits of God's creatures to grab everyone's attention.

I'm using this along with several readers I have to accent our science lessons, character building, and Bible study in our homeschool curriculum.

I can't rave enough!

I have purchased many devotionals for my son that have not reached him. It is usually like pulling teeth to get him to read the bible or do a devotional. God's Amazing Creatures and Me is the devotional I've been searching for. He looks forward to each session and even begs me to read more than 1 a day with him. It takes an interesting fact about an animal and relates it to the Christian walk. I am amazed how he remembers the point from previous days.

My son requests one of these every night. The way they tie the animals abilities/features to a portion of scripture is very cool. We are almost done with this one and I will definitely be passing it around to my son's friends. I hope there is another edition in the works.

Devotion time is very special in my heart. I remember having many discussions as a family, surrounded around God's Holy Word. I've been looking for something that will spark more in depth discussions with my daughter.

I got this book, God's Amazing Creatures, & Me, in the mail just a couple weeks ago. I can't even begin to share with you what a blessing this little book is! On one side, it gives some educational information about a particular animal (45 in total). On the other side, it has a short, and very applicable devotional to read with your children. There is also a special question at the end, to get your child thinking. It causes them to see themselves, as beautiful in God's eyes! There is also a memory verse to go along with each devotional.

Do you think this might be a good fit for your family?

Let me tell you, I'm learning some things about animals that I never knew (and I am, {gasp} 30 years old)! Did you know that no two Zebras have stripes that are the same? Just as each child of God is special and unique in His eyes!

Too busy for a set family devotion time? Here are some very practical ways/places to use this book:


1) At the table during meal time
2) During a long car ride
3) Lingering potty time?
4) How about before you go to the Zoo?
5) Why not read the book outside, and go on your own family scavenger hunt around your house. What are some of God's amazing creatures that your child can find, right in your own backyard?

I was very disappointed with the age expectation. The pictures, insights, and format is, at the earliest, only appropriate for age 8-11, so I'll have to save it, and have not found any other for 6yr. olds.

Very good and useful book - just what I was looking for. And good service. Glad I found it on Amazon.
