CHILDREN'S DEVOTIONAL BOOK
Amy Plantinga Pauw, a brillant woman who sat in front of me in Greek class at Fuller Seminary, has teamed up with Susan R. Garrett to write a children's devotional book that is getting rave reviews. Making Time for God: Daily Devotions for Children and Families to Share "deals honestly with difficult topics such as race, diverse religious traditions, divorce, and jealousy. It introduces children to many of the best-known and best-loved stories of the Bible but doesn't shy away from harder to understand passages such as the story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God. Each of the 366 entries includes a solid Scripture passage, a reflective meditation, and a prayer. It's appropriate for elementary age kids to read alone or for families to read together." (From the publisher's description on ChristianBook.com)
