This is NOT your typical, wimpy devotional book for boys. It is packed with not just a lot of reading but actual doing too!Each day is packed with a Bible verse to ponder, a passage to read relating to the verse, and then the extras. There is a place at the bottom of the page asking the boys a question to write in and answer and also, three "Triple Dare's" on the side to do. These are where boys take this devotional from just interacting with a book to heading outside of the book into real life. Examples like: "What thing can you not live without? Don't use if for a week." and "Get sweaty serving someone. Mow a neighbor's lawn or walk an elderly person's dog-for free."The book is labeled for ages 9-12, but in my opinion 11-15 year-olds may get more benefit from it. It can be a lot of fun, but may also seem like a lot to undertake daily for some. Plus, there is one devotion about avoiding p0rn0graphy. This may not be a topic you want to discuss with your nine year old yet.A valuable resource to consider. Dy-no-mite!B&B Media sent me the above books for review purposes. It will allow me to keep the books. I have no other connection to and have received no other compensation from B&B Media.
I immediately handed my son this book when it arrived. His words were, "Oh, cool!" I can't think of a better endorsement -- especially coming from a ten year old boy. He and my seven year old son browsed through the book for about 20 minutes and watched the corner cartoon over and over again.A bit later, my heart melted when my oldest son sat down with the book again and read several pages to my youngest son. Then he proceeded to explain the parts that his brother didn't understand.Wow.He was getting it and able to "teach" his brother.
I think Triple Dog Dare is a really cute devotional book! Now, if the intended audience for it were to read the word "cute", they'd probably pass right on by it! ;) I found myself snickering a good bit while reading the devotionals. "If the apostle James were around today, he would wear Nikes. He probably wouldn't even care if they matched his robe. He'd be styling them simply because they helped him Just Do It. The guy could've written the slogan. He did write that part of the Bible."It goes on to connect with the Bible. I just really like the way Jeremy wrote these devotionals(for a young man)!There's a year's worth of devotionals in here, so I haven't read every single one. I really liked the ones that I have read, though. Keep in mind that this book was written for 9-12 year old males, and I am a 30 year old female! I think Jeremy did a wonderful job of writing for the intended audience, though. (This book is actually going to a young man that I think will really enjoy it)! Some of them do touch on serious topics, like pornography. "You don't have to be a preacher to praise God in what you do. You can honor Him telling jokes, eating ice cream, and riding your skateboard. You can glorify Him in the classroom, playground, locker room, and ice rink-even the bathroom! You can worship Him surfing, hunting, painting, and going to sleep. He can be pleased by the way you do your homework, hang out with friends, and even brush your teeth."There's 6 devotionals for each week(one for the weekend). Each includes a short devotional, Bible verses, challenges(dares), and a journal section to write about the dare from the day before. Triple Dog Dare is definitely a book that I will keep in mind for my boys as they get a little older!
My boys are 9 and 6, I have been able to use this devotional and it has worked great. The only reason I have suggested the older ages is a couple of areas that may be more directed to older boys. Of course this is my perception, and we keep a tight lid on the information that is fed to our kids. You know, the computer is in the kitchen where we are always walking by, and do not watch many movies simply because another kid at school saw it. I believe the heart of a child is like a garden and we should weed out the garbage before it takes root. Doing this requires some sifting of the debris in our culture to protect them.
Thank you to David C Cook and B and B Media Group for my free review copy!Yesterday I reviewed a devotional book for girls entitled Truth and Dare, One Year of Dynamic Devotions For Girls by Ann-Margret Hovsepian. This book in every way focuses on young girls from the front cover to its content, through to the dare project and journaling.Triple Dog Dare, One Year of Dynamic Devotions For Boys by Jeremy V. Jones. This devotional book also in every way focuses on young boys from the bold edgy primary colored front cover, through to the devotional content of truth and dare, to the mission accomplished section.I noticed that the devotional sections are briefer than in the girls devotional. The writing is more to the point, less descriptive chat.Each day marked by the day of the week, has a Bible verse to read, devotional part is entitled "Truth" section and a living it out by "Triple Dare" section , then a "Mission Accomplished--- What did you do? What did you learn?" section.The author impresses upon the reader to stand up for what they believe, to not back down but to live out what they know in their heart is right.The devotional book to me is perfectly geared for young boys in that it reaches them the right way in getting their attention. It lifts them up, gives them a goal, encourages them and strengthens them.Weekend sections are 2 pages in length. For example "How to Build Up Your Body"---this weekend section focused on physically building up strength by exercise. Another weekend section focuses on how to handle a bully.There are pages marked "Your Page" a short sentence is started and the reader is to continue free writing, for example: "I feel closest to God when....."I have 2 sons both now grown. I would have loved to have given them this devotional book when they were young boys.
