I grew up in the '80's and '90's with my mom reading Keys for Kids to us daily. This book caputres all those old stories into one large book. The daily principles are priceless. I found my old Keys For Kids books from my childhood and have been reading them with my kids now daily. They are what I use for my personal adult devos too (I read it and the Bible passage myself first and meditate on it then read the same thing to my kids later in the day). I have to say, I have made very very few decisions I regret in my life, and it's because you keep your heart on track when you have a daily word from God and example of how to apply it. SO many days the lesson has been on a subject that I could apply that same day. Tell your kids to look for a way to apply it that day and to share with you when that happens!Also, reguarding the commet someone made about one of the Keys being about child molesting:It's extremeley important for kids to know what to do if they are being molested. Thank God for literature that helps us teach or children what to do and role play what to say if this is something they ever face. And most molesting does happen by a family member, close friend of the family, or an older child who has contact with your child... so the kids need to know what to do to protect themselves. You need to have this discussion with your kids for their own sake. You never know the strangers your kids will face at school, church, etc. Having a brief 3-4 sentence discussion a couple times a year about this (beginning of each school year is a good time, going to camp, sleepover at someone's house) could prevent tremendous heartache in your child's life. The subject is uncomfortable to talk about but necessary. The Golden Learn About Living Book entitled "You Can Say 'No' A Book About Protecting Yourself" by Betty Boegehold is an excellent book about this subject.
This book is specifically meant for but not suitable for children. The October 1 entry is a story about a young girl who shares an ugly secret about something her uncle did that made her feel dirty. I'll let you guess the rest.Aside from the fact that this story is completely inappropriate for children, there is absolutely no connection between it and the quoted verse in Mathew 11: 28-30We chucked our book in the garbage.
I really like the One Year series and wanted to have something for my six-year old daughter to read. What I like about the book are the verses selected and the stories: my daughter likes the story format. But the emphasis is very evangelical. It felt like the ending to many of the stories was, "Have YOU asked Jesus to be your savior?". Which felt very weird to us: why else would we be reading a book called Devotions for Kids? After a while it felt like talking to someone who doesn't trust you and has to keep asking the same question over and over.The other issue was that sometimes we just didn't agree with the book's take on something. One story suggested handing out tracts, which I don't feel is an effective way of reaching people. There seems to be a lot of focus on external behaviors and conforming to "Christian" culture. Another story asked whether God would be pleased with your choice of music and friends and made it sound as though you should only be spending time with other Christians. This doesn't sound to us like the Jesus who spent lots of time with sinners.In the end, we have decided to seek out some other devotionals instead. We like Jesus Calling for Kids but are still looking for something in a story format. We'll keep looking!
I bought several of these for grandchildren and Sunday School class students. Anything to get children thinking about how to act and how to treat others and most of all to grow in their faith. Everybody needs the Lord Jesus Christ.
I REALLY like this devotional for kids. Each story is a valuable life and Christ-centered lesson for the youngsters. My grand-daughter and I have several devotional/bible story books that we use regularly but this one quickly became our favorite. She is six and is able to understand the point of most of the interesting stories with a minimum of explanation. Each page has bible verses to read and a clear "theme" statement.Hats off to the Children's Bible Hour for a really neat devotional that kids can relate to.
I think you really get to know God with this book. You have to read it. It's amazing!! I love it and so will you!!!:-)
I love Key's for Kids. Have used Key's for Kid's since 1991 was pleased when they came out with the book with topical index and scripture reference. Makes it easier to find a closing story to use in Children's Church. If the children do not pick up the point through the Bible story or my teaching they will get it from the closing devotion. I call this this modern day parables for children.
I have been praying and waiting for the time when my husband would finally be on first shift so we could enjoy family devotional time together. That finally happened this year and I was thrilled as I read the reviews for this book. It hasn't disappointed, the lessons are not too long so the kids don't.lose interest and it puts the lessons in a context they can understand. We have had some wonderful discussions because of this book. I highly recommend it.
