Have you ever struggled to make family devotions work for your family? One child likes to color and the other wants to jump up and down. How do you hold both of their interests?
I have a treat for those of you with children and grandchildren in your life. My friend Karen Whiting’s new book just released. I want you to be among the first to know. Because Karen packs so many creative ideas into each lesson, there is something to fit every family’s needs. Karen has provided a link below so you can enjoy a free sample of this fun and informative resource.
52 Weekly Devotions for Families Called to Serve

Enjoy hands-on fun, a contemporary story, a related Bible passage, and chat prompts all around a central weekly theme. Discover more about the lives of families with members who serve in the military, mission field, firefighters, law enforcement, EMTS, and even families who volunteer. You learn about adventures, following a call, and challenges such families face. Create a family faith scrapbook with the prompts given each week to save the memories of sharing faith as a family.
Help your children develop servant hearts as they read about people who serve others and Bible people who served others. #FamilyDevotions Click To Tweet

I am reading Karen’s book and LOVE it!!! What a wonderful way to share family time!
Melissa, I love the layout as well as the ideas. Glad to hear you are enjoying it.
This is a beautiful book I will be purchasing for my grandchildren! I wish I’d had it when my children were small.
Me too, Ann. I’m afraid we got stuck in a rut.
A m certain I’ve just found another great book to add to our church library; and I may have to pick up a few more to share with friends who still have little ones to lead. Thank you for sharing this with us Mrs. Debbie and Mrs. Karen.
Great idea, J.D. Thanks.
I love Karen’s writing! Her children’s books are precious! Thank you so much for sharing her post!
She is very creative. I am always amazed. Thanks, Julie.
