The Busy Family Devotional is your short and simple guide to leading your children through Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. A resource to help you all (because family devos ain’t just for kids, right?) grow in understanding and relationship with the God who created and loves you.

Life is FULL-ON with kids, isn’t it? Above all the chaos and busyness of a modern family, though, is one thing that is SO much more important than whether your kids cleaned their teeth this morning – and that is nurturing our children’s relationship with Jesus through God’s Word, the Bible. But fitting this into busy family life sometimes feels impossible. That’s where this book comes in. Treat it like a Best Friend to Busy Christian Parents Everywhere. Wherever you feel you are on your faith journey, you can start using this guide together as a family. You don’t need a Theology degree or any specialist Bible knowledge – everything you need is right here.

Each devotion consists of an ice breaker – a bit of fun!; context for the story connecting to the previous reading; Bible reading reference; three questions for fun, lively discussion based on the reading; a prayer prompt and an optional memory verse and symbol to colour to connect with the message from the reading. And that’s it! No preparation needed and no need to find glue sticks and pom poms.

A devotional for 52 sessions that could take a few months, or a year or two. Whatever works for you and your busy family lives.
