Bringing God together with the world He created
From Earth to space, animals, and our bodies, this is an awesome introduction into the world that God has created. Each devotional begins with a bible verse and discusses a scientific topic associated with it, then connects it to God. They also share a “Be Amazed” fact and close in prayer.We love this book. This was my children’s first devotional and we used it at the beginning of each homeschooling day. I got one for each of them and they would swap days choosing a devotional and marking it off in the Table of Contents since they didn’t go in order, which isn't necessary. My children took turns reading and were fascinated by what they read, excitedly sharing new things they had learned with me.The material overall could be read by my children, they were 7 and 10 when we did most of this, with only the occasional mispronunciation. The devotional doesn’t get too deep into the scientific subjects, but you can always find other books to delve deeper when your child’s curiosity is piqued, and they start asking questions. Though the material wasn’t too difficult to read and some facts my children already knew, from watching Wild Kratts or reading other science books, the biblical aspect was deeper and sometimes they didn’t fully understand it which provided opportunities for discussion when they had questions.We enjoyed this book so much we have already bought the next book, How Great is Our God: 100 Indescribable Devotions About God and Science and got a copy as well for our niece and nephews this past Christmas. One nephew even sat still long enough for me to read a devotional and asked me to read another one to him.I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a great starter devotional for their children and this will forever be in my library.

A good prompt for creation centered conversation.
Well written devotions with science fun facts for creation centered families! While it's an easy read for my 3rd grader, she is thoroughly engaged by the text and loves the science connections! With that in mind, this is not a science textbook nor does it pretend to be. I don't exactly agree with all the content and feel that some facts require deeper digging. However, that's the beauty of literature. It challenges us to think and understand why we believe what and how we believe. One reviewer commented this devotion is masquerading as a science book but clearly is religious propaganda. Propoganda is intended to manipulate and control what society thinks through deceptive means. This books clearly labels itself as a devotional book. That means it clearly lets the buyer know this book is written for those who believe in God or perhaps are interested in reading a devotional from a Christian perspective. The book is not misrepresented in the title as to trick someone who doesn't believe to believe. Believing is a personal choice. A book will not make a choice for you. If someone reads the title and chooses it to teach their children that this is ridiculous nonsense and those who fall for it are ignorant, that is a type of manipulation as well as complete intolerance. Evolution is not proven. It is a theory. According to the scientific method it cannot be called a fact since it is still in the theory stage. Therefore, the buyer who cites the Big bang devotion from the book is doing so because it contradicts what they believe or don't believe. The book doesn't say those "some people" are wrong. It merely offers food for thought. Example paraphrased from the book: "{Consider the theory that an explosion created everything by throwing a puzzle in the air to see if it connects or forms upon landing}". It is my sincere hope that the world calling for tolerance/acceptance would recognize that attacking a book for clearly calling itself a Christ centered devotion with science fun facts is the opposite to a claim they value most- humanity and all it's variances.

Perfectly written for children and parents to read together

devotional for kids
My kid loves the devotions. Each devotion has a healthy mixture of science and Jesus which are 2 of my kiddos favourite. The devotions bring great conversations and questions from my child all while filling her curiosity with the "be amazed' section, we're usually all amazed from facts that we didn't know. Its a great tool for homeschool as well, through the devotions ill sometimes do activities related to the devotion to help as well. Definitely recommend

Great children's devotional!
This is great, we read in it every day at breakfast. And my 5 year old really likes it, even my 3 year old listens in. And there's a short prayer at the end of every devotional that the kids like to pray after me. It has enriched our lives already, so I definitely recommend it!
