The Action Bible Anytime Devotion ~ REVIEW

Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.




I'm sure you have heard of the Action Bible by David C Cook.  Recently we received his new book, The Action Bible Anytime Devotion 90 Ways to Help Kids Connect with God Anytime, Anywhere, illustrated by Sergio Cariello, Brazilian comic book artist.  This amazing book offers our kiddos specific ways to not only connect with our God, but how to apply it to our lives every single day.  I'm talking about how to have and implement courage, love, trust, hope, faith, kindness, service, and strength. 

Learn God’s Word with an action verse

Apply it to what’s happening in your life

Relate it to real people from the Bible

Think about it to help you grow

Talk to God with a quick prayer guide

Share with others using questions and simple actions

Take it further by going back into the Bible

The Table of Contents makes it super easy to find a particular topic you may be struggling with or wanting to learn more about  by showing you the Title - Topic - Scripture.   This book is recommended for kiddos in the 8-12  range, but I can see it used with even teenagers. Let me tell you how Kaden used it.

 
Most mornings he is up and waiting for breakfast at the table so this book has been a happy addition to his waiting on Mom routine.  I would come downstairs and he would be reading.  Besides the actual stories he said he enjoyed the life applications.  He couldn't relate to all of them, but he was able to put the lesson deeper in his heart because of the extra bullet points at the end.  They offered ideas on how to put what you just learned into action, prayer starters, situations to contemplate and writing exercises.  One in particular that stood out during this day in time is an exercise that told Kaden to refocus our thoughts on God right away and pray when we find ourselves in a tough situation.  

Kaden also said he liked that they were fairly short reads.  Just a simple 2 page spread that made them easy to read.  Daily he would read 2 or 3, so he has completely read all 90 of them and has actually continued by rereading them.  I think we will need to get the NIV Action Study Bible for him ASAP.  Just to completely share what each devotional consists of.... the 2 page spread is illustrated in a colorful graphic novel style and begins with an Action Verse, the actual real-life situational story/devotional, the life applications that Kaden liked so much and then ends with a Take it Further section that gives additional scripture reading.

 

We loved this book and if you are looking for an easy to read devotional that your kids will want to read this is one to buy.  Top of my list for sure!  Connect with David C Cook on Social Media today and click below to see what other families had to say about The Action Bible Anytime Devotion
