100 Read & Sing Devotions

If you are looking for a devotional book to use with your small children, this could be what you've been looking for.  100 Read & Sing Devotions, created by Stephen Elkins, is filled with colorful child friendly illustrations and daily devotions which include a short scripture verse that you and your child can memorize, a prayer, and a brief devotional narrative.  Each devotion is accompanied by a classic children's song which is included on the two CDs which come with the book and reinforces the Biblical truth of the day's devotional.  The songs, performed by children,  are easy to learn and will hide God's word in your child's heart.  Your child will learn about creation, worship trusting God, Jesus' life and ministry, and more. 

Nothing is more special than sharing your faith with your child.  However, reading stories straight from your own Bible for them might be a bit frustrating for young ones to understand.  The languuage used in this devotional is simple to understand yet does not compromise God's word. No devotion exceeds  two pages in length, including the illustration, prayer, and scripture, so your little one doesn't lose interest.  Use this book as a springboard for further discussion as you tell your child stories about how God has been real to you.  "100 Devotions is an important way to establish a lifetime relationship with God."  I would recommend this book for ages 3 - 8.  It would also make a wonderful gift.

I did receive a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for an honest opinion of the product.
