Jesus Today: Review

Jesus Today: Devotions for Kids is about Jesus and His amazing Love for you. It's also a book about hope. Some kids may think that hoping is just wishful thinking. But the hope Jesus offers you is something you can hold on to - knowing it will never let you down. Because Jesus will never let you down! No matter what is happening - whether you are happy, scared, angry, or sad - God is always in control, and He is always good.

That was an excerpt from the Introduction of Jesus Today. This book is supposed to be be for kids, but as a 30-something year old, I enjoyed reading through each of the devotions myself. Sometimes, things just need to be spelled out in the most simplest ways. A way that a child can understand. Some things in the Bible are already difficult to understand, let alone trying to understand it from an adult point of view. The devotions are short, sweet, and provide just enough Bible verses to remind us as a Child of God that He is always there.

There are 150 devotions, each very short. Each devotion has approximately 3-4 versus to show us God promises. There is also a Scripture text in the back of the book, and a cute little blue ribbon to mark your page.

I think this would be a great book to read with a child at the end of the day, for bedtime devotions. Even as an adult, I'm thinking about keeping it at my nightstand for nightly bedtime prayer.
