365 Bible Answers for Curious Kids by Kathryn Slattery is a
yearly devotional for children. I would say it is probably most appropriate for
younger children. Each devotion includes
a question, a scripture, a description or answer to the question and a brief
prayer. Most of the scriptures are KJV
but there are other notations of different versions included (NIV, NKJV, and
The Message Bible are a few).
I would suggest reading over the devotion before presenting
them to your child. There are some devotions that I would consider
controversial or maybe just one of those things that a person may or may not
agree with. There is one asking about Jesus living with dinosaurs, some about
various holidays and some that you may not want to introduce to younger
children such as the Oct 30th devotion that talks about horoscopes,
fortune telling and Ouija boards, although these are subjects that I would want
to introduce to older kids in may be hard for a 5 or 6 year old to grasp. The one about dinosaurs may be controversial according
to your belief but doesn’t go into great detail so it could be a good
discussion point but just be prepared. Other holidays such as Valentine’s Day
is included and it talks about the death of Saint Valentine, again not sure it
is completely appropriate for younger children.
For the most part I believe this devotional gives pretty
good answers to questions people may have, even as adults but I would suggest
reviewing them and researching on your own before presenting them to children.
I’m not sure at this point that I would recommend this particular devotion to
others because I haven’t dug into it deep enough but I doubt that I would. I will keep it and use it with discretion.
I received this book at no charge from booklookbloggers in
exchange for an honest review.
