Looking for a way your family can grow in faith but aren’t sure how to get started? Our Father’s Day blog series has you covered. Each post of this series will uncover a valuable resource specifically to help fathers carry out their God-given call to “bring [children] up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).
“I take the role God has given me as a father seriously. I want to bring up my children so they know God’s love and forgiveness. But where do I start? What do I use?”
“I’m looking for just the right devotions for my family. Some that aren’t too hard for the smaller children to understand yet will hold the attention of adults and nurture their faith as well.”
“Devotions that don’t just teach doctrines but help kids and adults alike grasp what those truths mean for their lives. I don’t want devotions that are just interesting but shallow; I want devotions that open the door for the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts.”
Jesus, Our Family Guest: 100 Devotions for Families of All Ages is a family devotion book that has stood the test of time. It relates to people of all ages, because the devotions tell the story of a fictional family. It addresses life’s day-to-day challenges in ways that young children, teenagers, and parents can understand. It acknowledges the humorous side of life, while addressing our life-and-death need for law and gospel. It reminds us that what Jesus did guides our perspective and gives comfort and hope, no matter what situation we may face.
These devotions open up opportunities to discuss what is going on in the lives of our family members, always keeping our eyes on Jesus and how his work impacts us and every situation in our lives.
May God bless you as the spiritual leader in your family. And may God bless your work so that Jesus is always your family’s guest.
