Devotion, Bible, and Religious Book Recommendations
Hey Parents! I hope each month to have different devotion, Bible, and religious book recommendations for families and different age groups. This month we have a variety of resources for you to check out! Click the blue title to be taken to the Amazon page or other purchase location for each book. If you wish to see each book in person, we have a copy in the family library in the Cry Room.
Family Devotions
Family Time: A Collection of 98 Bible Stories and Devotions - Center your family time around meaningful devotions on Biblical stories. With beautiful illustrations to accompany every story, your child can learn important lessons from the Old and New Testament while also understanding how it applies to their life.
Each story includes a question to answer or link into the church year based on another Bible passage. Many questions tie right back into your child’s life while others answer questions about living as a Christian or why God or Jesus had done certain things. Every story concludes with a prayer to help build a solid foundation of prayer in your child’s life.
For parents, the back of the book indexes the questions or topics talked about within the 98 different devotions, allowing you to find an answer for your curious child. Stories such as Jesus’ Tomb is Empty!, Calms the Story, Jesus Changes Saul, and David and Jonathan are included along with many more. (A copy of this book is in the Cry Room if you wish to check it out).

High School
10 Minute Moments: Plugged In: Connecting to the Heart of God's Biblical Principles 10 Minutes at a Time - Getting students to carve out time for God can be tough. Between packed schedules and the daunting weight of the average Bible, students need a simple, organized way to deepen their relationship with God on a daily basis.
Enter 10-Minute Moments.
Each edition works like a daily journal with 31 relevant devotionals that only take about 10 minutes to complete. Students will read a Bible passage, get some questions to chew on, some suggestions to help them pray, and then space to reflect. It’s easy to read and easy to stick with.
This edition is focused on the five biblical purposes of our lives—Worship, Fellowship, Discipleship, Ministry and Evangelism. Use them as part of a small group or retreat emphasis on daily devotions, graduation gifts, birthday gifts, or just have them available to students.
