A Kid's Review

This review is from: The One Year Book of Devotions for Girls (Paperback)

I am 12. I am really too old for this book, but it is good anyway. Good stories, wonderful Bible passages, questions, memory verses, and a key thought make this book great. While I am really too old for it, I happen to like it. Pick up this book today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Choice for Your Preteen Girl, December 27, 2008

This review is from: The One Year Book of Devotions for Girls (Paperback)

One Year Devos for Girls has stories that could relate to most any girl, not a particular `type' or personality. These are not interest-led devotions, but they are devotions that emphasize character building principles from which all children could benefit.

After reading the negative review about inappropriate content, I double checked both the age recommendation on my book and the April 11 devotion. Recommended ages are 8-12 and while some parents may not feel it appropriate to discuss physical contact between boys and girls with their young girls, the material is handled sensitively and seems entirely appropriate for an 8-12 year old girl.

This is really the perfect devotion book for an older elementary pre-teen who needs to develop a personal daily time with God. Not too long and easy to understand while providing additional scripture recommendations for anyone who wants more to study. A great introduction to daily devotions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not getting the job done with my kids, February 20, 2011

This review is from: The One Year Book of Devotions for Girls (Paperback)

I have been using this devotional with my three elementary age kids for about 6 months. They are currently 9 (girl) and 11 (twin boys). They are steadily losing interest in the word of God if it's framed by this book's approach. It seems like the stories are kind of contrived (nobody I know is like this except maybe the Flanders on The Simpsons) and they use really wierd analogies. My daughter wonders why the authors thought it was a great idea to compare Christians to pigeons, quilts and jello. She laughs about it but she really doesn't see their point. But the last straw was talking about how rock music was evil and then how a girl was convinced to stop listening to it because she went out with her Grandpa and saw a coyote that had been caught in a trap and escaped but was injured and was badly hurt. Did not comfort my animal loving little lady. Seems like a lot of good intentions went into this book, but then you know what they say about where most of those can lead you. We are moving on out to hopefully greener devotional pastures, I checked out a couple other ones like "The One Year Book of Did You Know Devotions for Kids", "The One Year Book of Fun & Active Devotions for Kids" and "If God Loves Me, Why Can't I Get My Locker Open". They seem like they will be a little have a bit more comfort and joy in them and encourage a bit more curiosity about God's word then this one did.
