Book Review: The Very Best, Hands-On, Kinda Dangerous Family Devotions
The Very Best, Hands-On, Kinda Dangerous Family Devotions
by Tim Shoemaker
As parents hoping to raise godly children, we may understand the importance of regular family devotions. However, we may find it difficult to get our kids (or even ourselves) fully engaged. But what if devotions looked less like sitting in the living room listening to someone read and trying to pry answers out of reluctant kids and more like, say, electrocuting a pickle? Or converting a leaf blower into a toilet paper launcher? Or lighting toothpaste on fire?
These hands-on, kinda dangerous, totally unforgettable object lessons (along with nearly fifty others) are not only more fun than other family devotions--they actually deliver the spiritual impact you desire for your kids. They'll even get dads and any too-cool-for-this-stuff teens jazzed about a weekly family devotional time.
So put away the flannelgraph, get out the safety goggles, and start bringing the truths of Scripture to vivid life in your household. Just remember to change out of your Sunday clothes first.
This is a really fun book! The activities are very fun and most of them take simple, household items that an average family might have. The devotionals are really simple and easy for kids of all ages to understand, but they are still thought provoking. Also, I thought the cover design was really fun. This is a really good book to help get family devotions out of a rut and into a fun and exciting lesson! Can't wait to start doing some of the activities!
