Book Review—Dive In! Devotions for Kids
I firmly believe that the best way to get to know God is by reading His Word, so this new devotional had me on board with one look at the cover:
“Go deep with God, by understanding His Word.”
And with the very first devotion:
“This book will help you get to know God by reading the Bible. Like learning any good thing—playing an instrument or a sport, for example—that takes time and practice. Don’t get discouraged if it’s hard at first. Dive in and read God’s story! The main character loves you and He can’t wait to spend time with you.”
