Book Description

6 and up
This devotional from Karyn Henley helps children use memorized verses to make character-building decisions. Fifty-two Scriptures will help kids focus on the positive character traits in choices such as listening vs. ignoring, willingness vs. stubbornness, and bravery vs. cowardice. Kids will enjoy examining biblical examples, as well as reviewing and using memorized verses for friendly "sword-fighting" application games. A great tool for elementary age kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars great way to help kids deal with the pressures of life, July 15, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Sword Fighting (Paperback)
This is a fun and easy way for kids to not only learn and memorize the scriptures, but understand what they really mean and put them to use. My 7 year old, whom I have to fight with to do simple math or other lesson, LOVES doing it every night. I have seen a lot of growth in him. His abilities to deal with the, uh, challenges of an older brother have greatly improved. There is less bickering and nitpicking in the house since we started this. Even for families that don't read the scriptures on a regular basis, this is really a good thing for the youth of today to fall back on when given the pressures that they can come across. The lessons refer to passages in the bible and really put them into an understandable context. There are hands on types of things to help to reinforce the lessons. I would recommend this book to any family that is concerned about the moral strength of their children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mom of 4 Boys, July 17, 2005
This review is from: Sword Fighting (Paperback)
This is the best devotional for boys I have seen! (I have no doubt girls would enjoy it too, I just have no personal experience to share). Lots of fun ways to memorize scripture and apply it to daily life. Not a lot of prep. time on parent's part to use this book.
However, instead of cutting out paper swords for each lesson, I made one cardboard sturdy one for each child. We laminated it with clear contact paper, & the boys had fun decorating the handle with old jewelry etc. Then each week they wrote the verse on a strip of paper & taped it to the "blade". One side always had the verse from last week, with the current verse on the other side. Laminating the "blade" made it last longer & made it easy to remove old verses to add new ones. Highly recommend this book!

This review is from: Sword Fighting (Paperback)
Highly recommend this book!! Weekly devotions are well-organized and easy to work with whether you have a lot of time to develop the themes or are usually on the run! My boys, 3 & 7, are memorizing like champs and look forward to our weekly "sword." My favorite part is that you memorize scripture to combat the regular temptations we all face daily--exs: "When I am tempted to lose my self-control I remember I Peter 5:8," "when I am tempted to feel sorry for myself I remember Psalm 121:2," etc. This opens wonderful discussions during Teachable Moments... It's my favorite family resource, for sure.
