Ever wish you could have a do over? Often as parents we wish we could do something over as we move along in life. I think at those times it's important to pass on that insight to younger parents. I wish I had the book, Help Your Kids Learn & Love the Bible by Danika Cooley when my kids were younger.
Danika (a fellow Moms in Prayer mom) shares such insight and wisdom of how and why to teach your children the Bible. I am still amazed at Danika's point on Biblical literacy that, "It's difficult to profess literacy in a subject when you're read the underlying text only one time. If you have read only passages or sections of a founding text for a subject...well then you can only claim partial knowledge at best." (page 14). This is the perfect argument for teaching our children the Bible. I would suggest that instead of looking for the ideal devotional, you read Danika's book and follow the practical suggestions for reading the Bible!
I am impressed that Danika offers practical application of the "how to". She doesn't just suggest having your kids read that Bible, but rather offers the how to accomplish it. She shares valuable insight that she has learned along her journey. Her website is also full of great ideas.
I have found this book to be super insightful and just may consider it a new baby shower gift! All parents need this book to understand the why and follow through on the how for Biblical literacy. I was given a free copy from the publisher for my honest review which I was more than happy to do. I highly recommend this book!
