5.0 out of 5 stars Just What We've Been Looking For September 1, 2011

By pickypurchaser

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I just purchased a second copy of "24 Ways" to give a friend who got hold of my first one and was SO excited about it. My first copy is now with a third friend who wanted to spend more time with it after hearing all the talk and wanted to "try it on" with her family. I guess maybe I should keep a an extra copy for myself if we're ever actually going to get to use it. Ha! I have to admit I've never been disappointed with any purchase penned or recommended by the Clarkson's. The devotions get right to the core of what matters and offer a simple doable daily model to follow. The book covers and expands on the importance of authority, relationships, possessions, work, attitudes and choices. You will find out what God has to say about these by using His Word, get it "into your heart" through memorization, relate to one another through discussion and make it practical and long-lasting by becoming accountable and deciding how to put it in to practice. Another added bonus is that the coloring book is included in this version along with a few other forms which I was super excited about as I thought it had been discontinued. Also be sure to check out the new edition Educating The WholeHearted Child as it is amazing!

I purchased this last month at a MomHeart conference and we LOVE it. It is laid out wonderful for kids and it is easy to follow. Scripture suggestions and questions to ask help get conversations started and bring home the lesson for the whole family. I can not recommend this enough!

I am doing this devotional with my son who is 6. So far, we have really enjoyed it. I like how they have added in the coloring sheets to go with each theme. It keeps my two year old busy and happy while we read and discuss.
