"Duck Commander Devotions for Kids" by Korie Robertson and Chrys Howard is a devotion for kids that is inspired by the hit TV show "Duck Dynasty"! Korie Robertson is Willie Robertson's wife and Chrys Howard is Korie's mom. This mother/daughter team has written a devotional together that highlights the faith of the Robertson family."With the Robertson clan's flair for down-home wisdom and their wholesome family values, this devotional reveals the heart and faith of this much-loved family."Fans of the show, "Duck Dynasty", will enjoy hearing "behind the scenes" stories about the Robertson family -- both from the past and the present day. And of course, each story has a moral that applies to the theme of the day's devotion.Each day's reading has an introductory Bible verse, the devotion itself, a prayer in Jesus' name and a "Duck Commander in Action" section.The Duck Commander in Action section is a nice feature where the child can be inspired to DO something -- draw a picture, write a note, do something physical, visit a food bank, etc... For this reason, reading the devotional at some point throughout the day would be better than doing it at bedtime because there would be more opportunity to do the activity.My biggest concern with the devotional is the use of "The Message" for a couple of introductory Bible verses. I know some people like "The Message", but I personally feel it has deviated too much for the original Scriptures to make it a valid translation and so I avoid it.My son is 9 and he is thrilled to have a devotional all his own that he can read to himself, have me read to him or that he can even read to his older sister!
Before reading Duck Commander: Devotions for Kids I knew little more about the Robertsons, the stars of Duck Dynasty, than I did about the Kardashians. Thanks to this book I have a new respect for the former. I don’t know much about duck hunting, but I know an excellent devotional when I read one.It uses concepts and language that a child can understand. Each devotion starts with a simple story from the Robertson family. Sometimes humorous, but always attention-getting, they lead to basic thoughts about a verse of Scripture.The first one is a favorite: “Pleasant words are like a honeycomb. They make a person happy and healthy” (Proverbs 16:24). This and most of the other passages are taken from the International Children’s Bible.The verse above precedes the thought, “You have the power to change someone’s day just by the words you use” (16). The concluding idea sums up the focus, “When you use your words to build someone up, that is using your voice to make God happy” (16).Each section includes a short prayer and ideas for application. The title, “Words to Waterproof,” is drawn from the latter. “There are special sprays that will waterproof your boots so rain will roll right off them. Using kind words helps to waterproof the people you love, causing other unkind words to roll right off them. You will be like a kindness umbrella, covering your friends and brothers and sisters with love!” A profound thought for any age group; this is representative of the well-written and creative exposition of Biblical truth.You don’t have to know about the Robertsons or their show to benefit. I have not seen a single episode, but reading this showed me how serious they are about their faith.
