Do 6 to 10 year olds face tough choices? You bet they do! Based on the popular original title Sticky Situations, this “little brother” edition includes 365 daily devotionals specifically targeted to younger kids.

Kids will look forward to reading the true-to-life stories, Scripture verses, and fun activities that await them each day.

This review is from: Sticky Situations 2: 365 Devotions for Elementary Kids (Paperback)

I have 2 grade school boys that enjoy this book of devotions, the Sticky Situations: 2 book is packed full of real life situations, easily identifiable by your children with real life problems too! This book is divided by monthly topics, such as.. January's topic is love and kindness and so forth. I like the stories in this book different than others because the situations are vivid, believable, things that could and do happen every day at school, like... I WORE MY WWJD BRACELET TO SCHOOL AND THE CLASS BULLY ASKED ME WHAT IT STOOD FOR, DO I TELL HIM? Other stories include kids playing video games and resulting conflicts, comic books, tithe, neighbor friends, Sunday School...so many more. After each devotional story, there are multiple choice questions for you to read with your kids or them alone. Sometimes, more than one answer is possible, one is better than the other. The answers really get kids talking about the right path that should be taken, and also an opportunity for kids to share similar things/stuggles they've encountered and how better they can choose to react next time. A Bible reference is printed at the bottom of the page, the verse is not listed within the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Devotional for Kids, May 9, 2008

Molly Mom of 2 (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sticky Situations 2: 365 Devotions for Elementary Kids (Paperback)

Wow, when I picked this book up in the Christian Book Store I was immediately taken by it. I've always looked for devotionals that would really hold my childrens' interests and this is it! Each day there is a new "sticky situation" that a child is in, and it gives multiple choice answers to figure out. Then it tells you where you can find help in the Bible (give a verse) and how to discuss this. The cover itself is hilarious and gets the kids to look inside. I have a 7yr old girl and 10.5 yr old boy and this book is great for both. It will be good for my son until he's at least 12. I also got the first version of this book which is just as good :) These are perfect to do either during breakfast in the morning or during dinner in the evening as a family. We keep them on our kitchen counter along with a Bible. You'll love it :)
