I'm involved in children's ministry and want to encourage our kids' parents to have family devotion and personal devotions for the kids. I'm looking into suggesting the Gotta Have God and God and Me series (ISBN: 9781885358974). Has anyone used these before?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We never had 'family devotions'. We were hospitable and had many lively conversations around a meal with people that gave our children lots of good information and concepts. We read bible stories at a suitable age level at bedtime and always chatted about the day then and prayed. That was far more natural and life related than a formal 'devotional time'. Both boys are committed Christians as adults with a very robust faith.

Have used 'God and Me' with toddlers and kindergarten kids and this has been a really age appropriate quality resource. It's pretty short what you actually cover each day but you need that with kids under 5. Plus it's colourful and lots of pictures of kids doing things that preschoolers do, so easy to relate to. Haven't used the other resource but we found just reading children's bibles right through a good way to go plus as the kids got older we would read biographies of christian leaders/pioneers to get the kids thinking about what a 'real faith' looks like in practice. These biographies were written for kids ages 7-11.
