The "NIV Adventure Bible" is a #1 choice for young boys. This companion title -- "Adventure Bible Book of Devotions" -- can be used with or without its bestselling namesake. Perfect for independent use by 9-12-year-olds, it is also a wonderful choice for whole-family devotions.Written by Robin Schmitt, this book features 365 one-page devotions organized by date. (There is no inclusion for leap year.) Each devotion offers a title, a quoted Scripture passage (usually one to three verses taken from the New International Version), and a short story. Below the story readers find a one-paragraph application note followed by one of three special features: * Words to Treasure - This offers an extra Scripture passage for easy memorization. * People in Bible Times - Here you'll find additional insight into Bible stories or contextual or cultural details related to the lesson. * Did You Know? - Get bonus Bible facts here. * Live It! - This section provides practical ideas for kids to put their faith in action.For easy reference, the back of the book includes both a Topic Index and a Scripture Index.WHAT I LIKE: Both my kids -- 8-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son -- really like this book. The stories are very well-written and they tackle topics widely applicable. I really like the "People in Bible Times" sidebars. These always spark great conversations with my kids. These parts help them remember that people in the Bible really lived. I also appreciate the options for searching and sorting, as provided through the Table of Contents (by date) and the two indexes (by topic or Scripture passage). Great inclusion.WHAT I DISLIKE: Nothing, really.
The NIV Adventure Bible Book of Devotions has 365 daily readings to get your child thinking about how God is involved in their life. Each devotion begins with a Bible verse. There is then a fictional reading that your child will be able to relate to. The subjects range from outdoor activities to school related themes and more. Your kids can relate to the readings because they probably have had a similar experience. Each of the devotions is wrapped up with a paragraph that shows how God can be a part of your child’s everyday life. They will learn that God is in everything they do and that life is an exciting adventure.The NIV Adventure Bible Book of Devotions is meant to be a companion to the NIV Adventure Bible but each book can be used on its own. Children who have the NIV Adventure Bible will enjoy that the NIV Adventure Bible Book of Devotions looks like their Bible. The devotional also has the same side notes titled Did you Know?, Life in Bible Times, Live it!, People in Bible Times, and Words to Treasure. These offer fun and interesting little snippets of information at the end of each daily reading. I think parents will appreciate the topic and scripture indexes that are provided at the end of the book. There may a time when their child wants to know about a certain subject or Bible verse. These can easily be found with the indexes.This devotional is geared towards nine to twelve year olds. I have a ten year old and this devotional seems to fit her age group. She read through a few of the days and she said it was quick to read and that she liked it. This would be good to read to younger children but I don’t think they could read it on their own. I like how easy it is to read the devotions. They are short and quick , which is good for kids.
