Sticky Situations: 365 Devotions for Kids and Families

I love the practical stories. Relatable. The questions make one think.

My kids love this book!!

I have been searching for a way to do devotions with my children for several years and finally had a revelation that we would be wise to do them in the morning rather than at night. It seems we are always late getting to bed and in a hurry to get there in time for early rising the next day for school. It dawned on me that the kids sit down together each morning for breakfast and this would be the ideal time to direct their attention to daily devotions. While the kids eat, I read the devotional and they share and participate in those few moments before we disperse to our busy daily lives. This book is a FABULOUS asset to us and after trying numerous books have found this one to be most intriguing and applicable to their lives - they are ages 11(girl) and 13(boy). The stories that have been written are very age appropriate and usually the kids have had first hand experience with the topics discussed. At the end of each story, the author asks the kids "What should he do?" and lists several choices. This makes the kids listen carefully and just like in life, realize they have choices and that the best choice is usually not the easiest or most appealing at the moment. There is then a bible passage to read followed by a short commentary of why the "best" choice is indeed the best. This book has sparked many conversations within our family and I feel we have grown spiritually as a result of it. I would endorse this book whole-heartedly to anyone wishing to advance the spiritual growth of their family!

Are use this devotional first with my own children who are now adults and currently use it in a prayer group in a middle school. It only takes about five minutes and the multiple-choice allows the discussion of why that option is right or what an option is wrong.

My kids have a 6 year age gap, but we use this book for devotion in addition to many other books. I prefer this book because all of us can discuss different life situations at different age ranges based on the scenarios that we find ourselves in. Great read and worth the funds to purchase. Great for families of all age youth. Boys 8 and 14.
