One Year of Dinner Table Devotions & Discussion Starters: 365 Opportunities to Grow Closer to God as a Family

This book is awesome. We have an 8 year old son and even my husband and I are learning from the bible studies just like he is!! We even had some friends over from church and did a study from this book, and even though the pages are simple and short, our conversation and ideas lasted for a long time. Great book!!!

I'm a parent of 3 who is filled with gratitude for the book "Dinner Table Devotions". I have been doing "formal" devotion books with my kids since the 1st one started kindergarden (now he's a sophmore and my youngest is 10!) I have found that so many of the books lack sound teaching and I have been discouraged by the fact that I've had to correct some of the lessons. We aren't quite done the year but so far every lesson has been a wonderful tool to help my children grow in their faith and understanding. It's filled with sound and solid theological underpinnings that help us talk to the kids about the character of God and the nature of his redemptive plan rather than little moral lessons from Bible characters. I struggle to put my beliefs and faith into clear words that can be understood, this book has helped me do just that every time.

I gave this book to my daughter to use with her children at dinner time. On Christmas Eve we joined them for a celebratory feast. After the dessert was cleared they asked if they could do one of the devotionals from Dinner Table Devotions! Out it came as every one gathered around. The oldest daughter (8) got to do all of the reading and did so with enthusiasm. Then came time for the questions. I was amazed at the depth of the questions presented and also at the enjoyment the kids had in answering them! Nancy Guthrie has written an excellent tool for families and it was apparent to me that the children loved it! I was especially glad to see the writing and questions are truly thought provoking and pointed the way to deeper spiritual growth. I would recommend this book to families with children six and older. It is a great tool and something the whole family can enjoy!
