Making Time for God: Daily
Devotions for Children and Families
to Share by Amy Plantinga Pauw
Excellent Family Devotion Guide
Parents will appreciate this thoughtful daily devotional that helps children
develop good prayer and quiet time habits and encourages them to turn to
the Bible for answers to real-life situations. Authors Susan Garrett and
Amy Plantinga Pauw are both seminary professors and uniquely qualified
to underpin their book with sound biblical theology. Their practical
experiences as mothers make each devotion kid-friendly and applicable.
Making Time for God 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 doesnt
shy away from harder to understand passages such as the story of
Abrahams willingness to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God. Each of the
366 entries includes a solid Scripture passage, a reflective meditation, and
a prayer. Its appropriate for elementary age kids to read alone or for
families to read together. Those who are looking for the perfect gift for

special occasions and parents who want to jump-start a devotional time
with their kids will appreciate this handsome and thoughtful book.
Personal Review: Making Time for God: Daily Devotions for
Children and Families to Share by Amy Plantinga Pauw
I'd been searching for a book of devotions to share with my children, ages
2 and 6. This book is a wonderful way to introduce kids to the Bible in
ways that make sense to everyday life.
I appreciate the fact that the authors include texts from nearly every book
of the Bible, even tackling scripture that is much harder to interpret to
children (like scripture from the Prophets that make God look like an
fearsome ogre). Yet these authors are able to handle those texts with
grace, helping even adults understand deeper theological issues without
simplifying them, and without trying to provide "pat" answers.
The book begins with an introduction for children/youth, and an
introduction for parents/caregivers. There is one page for each day of the
year, including scripture, a reflection on the text, and a brief prayer that
follows along with the focus.
If you are seeking a book of devotions to share with your family, get this
one. It's very insightful and good for all ages.
