Help the young girls in your life to daily dig into God's word with the aid of The One Year Devos For Girls, by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. Girls ages 8-12 will first read God's word and then a practical life story experience. The "How About You" section allows the reader to examine her life as she answers personal questions. A Bible verse to memorize and a bolded summary statement completes the day's lesson.
The devotional touches on a variety of subjects: worry, friendships, laziness, loving others, trials, heaven, appearance, witnessing and Bible memory, among others. Life quickly passes and important topics may fall to the wayside or be difficult to approach. Reading The One Year Devos For Girls with a daughter makes it easy to discuss crucial issues through realistic and relatable stories.
One devotional speaks about two types of invitations. The scripture reading comes from John 14:1-6. Jesus is telling his disciples that he is going to Heaven to prepare a place for believers, and He will come back. And, Jesus is the only way, truth and life. "No one comes to the Father except through me." (vs. 6b)
The devotional story goes on to talk about a young girl who misplaces a party invitation and misses her friend's party. She later shares her hurt with her parents. The father in the story reminds her of another invitation that is often ignored: God's invitation to spend eternity in heaven with him. However, many pay no attention. One day, it will be too late to accept the invitation.
The most important part of this devotional is that it gives many opportunities for the reader to acknowledge sin and the need for a Savior--Jesus Christ-- in their life.
The One Year Devos For Girls is also great for parent's. It reminds adults of God's eternal truths and promises. The devotional encourages parents to look for teachable Biblical truths in daily life situations.
