Family Bible Reading

One thing that we do every time we hold him is read a Bible story to him. Now I know that he doesn't exactly know what he is hearing, but we wanted to start doing family devotions early in his life, and well, this is early :-) I want to share with you the amazing family devotional we came across and commend it to any of you with young children! We found a new family devotional guide called Long Story Short. Over 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and through 1 1/2 years, it takes you and your family through the Old Testament. Instead of just giving moral lessons, it teaches children theology in a fun, interactive way. It also shows how every story points to Christ and how the redemptive message weaves throughout all of Scripture. It even has questions for children to ask their parents and parents to ask their children to help facilitate spiritual discussions with each story. It is quite impressive! For those of you familiar with Sovereign Grace Ministries, it is written by one of their pastors.If you'd like to learn more about this devotional book for your family that we have already started using, please go to: http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/7277/There is a great 3 minute video introduction to it from the author on that page.By the way, we're not getting any "kick backs" for passing this along... We just wanted to share something that we are already enjoying and that is unique among books today :-)
