I have been going through and getting rid of books that we're not going to use again or that didn't hold our interest enough to want to read them again. Then we got a book to review with the TOS Crew. It's a great devotional book called from Apologia titled Journeys of Faithfulness by Sarah Clarkson. This book will be keeping a spot on our shelves for us to use again and again. I have a feeling all 5 of my girls will use it.
In a total of 232 this paperback brings you thoughts and makes you think. It brings to you historical fiction accounts of Mary and Martha, Mary mother of Jesus, Esther, and Ruth. It brings the Bible to LIFE!!
I did read it to my oldest this time. She's only 7 so still a beginning reader and needing help with big words so it went a lot faster to read it to her. I think I got just as much or more out of it as she did. The five times that I will read it, I believe I shall get something new from it each time.
The book is written in parts and chapters. The first part is about Mary and Martha and includes three chapters. Each chapter includes a historical fiction story, a devotional, a Bible Study section, and finally a journal section where you can write your thoughts and feelings. This was a lot to go through for one morning for a seven year old so I broke it down and we did one chapter per day. Then we would discuss what was said and apply it to our lives.
Recommended for ages 12 and up, this book only costs $13. You can read a sample chapter and the Table of Contents while reading about Journeys of Faithfulness. For the amount of information included in this book I think this is a great deal!
You can read what others think of this book by going to the TOS Crew website and checking out their post and linky. I know that I highly recommend this devotional and doing it with your girls several times over and over again.
