The Action Bible Anytime Devotions by David C Cook Review

Our Devotional

The Action Bible Anytime Devotions from David C Cook is a great devotional for your preteen.  I was excited to review this and have it available for A, B and C.  We already own The Action Bible and I thought this would be a great addition.

 

 C with our devotional.

This devotional invites kids ages 8-12 to dig deeper into God's Word and helps them apply Bible truth to their real life struggles.  It's made to be used anytime, anywhere, and as much as they want.  Topics covered included courage, faith, hope, kindness, love, service, strength, and trust.

A peek inside a devotional on trust.

There are 90 devotionals in total.  Each devotional is relatively short, two pages.  They can be done daily or you can schedule them out best to your needs.  Although, the thing to remember is it can be used anytime!  Each devotional has an action verse or applicable Bible verse (NIV translation) at the beginning.  It then shares a relatable story and connects it back to the Bible.  There is a prayer or talk to God section.  It ends with a take it further section, showing you what Bible verses you can read to grasp more.  These devotions help strengthen faith in God and help build character.

We already own The Action Bible so it's super easy to add in the "take it further" suggestions.

B Reading a devotional

Just like in The Action Bible, these original illustrations are vivid and engaging.  Kids really relate to  this comic book style devotional.  I'm thrilled to have this for my kids to help build their faith and encourage deep discussions.  We definitely recommend it.

While preteens can read this devotional and use it on their own, I also want to note that this can also be used as a family devotional as well.

The Action Storybook Bible Review, Blog Tour & Giveaway

I have a fun book to share with you, The Action Storybook Bible!  My kids love this book.  I know that it is specifically marketed for families with children ages 8 and under but it can work for a broader age range.  My older kids thoroughly enjoy The Action Bible (we have used it as our small group kids curriculum for the last year or so) already and this is a great addition for my younger kids to enjoy as well.  I really like the graphics and designs, the comic book feel is extremely appealing to children and it can provide a fun take on the Bible.  The reading is true and simple which I also think appeals to younger readers.  I really enjoy the extra contents that is included like the Heroes Hall of Fame index and The Life, Faith and Action! feature that helps you see how God is moving in each story.  I would highly recommend this book and its counterparts!

 The page above is an example of the story of creation.
