A Devotional for My Little Guy
Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 5:00AM 
My "little guy" really isn't so little anymore. He's seven, and growing up in so many ways.
He watches everything his eleven year old sister does, and wants to many things in school just like her. Bible study time is no different.
He watches her doing an independent Bible study, and has been asking me to do the same. He's read through My First Devotional (from Tommy Nelson) last year and loved his special time each evening.
How serendipitous that just as I was searching for a new devotional for him that a package arrived from Thomas Nelson! In it we found:
The Hide & Seek Devotional has been a welcome addition to our daily routine - something my son looks forward to each morning.
About The Devotional:
Age range: 5-7 (I bet you could use it with slightly younger or older children)
The book consists of 52 stories (26 Old Testament and 26 New Testament stories)... laid out as "The A to Z" of each testament.
Each devotion contains devotions, verses, and prayers.
In addition, there is also a link included with the book to a website with recordings (done by Kirk Cameron) of the devotions and fun, catchy songs each day, too!
It is available from Thomas Nelson for $16.99 (hardcover)
Why We Like The Devotional:
Each morning my son gets his book and plugs his headphones into my laptop. He goes right to the website and listens to the devotion for the day. I've even caught him going back so he can listen to some of the previous songs!
It is short, sweet, and meaningful. I review the memory verses with him throughout the day.
It takes into account different learning styles - some children may be visual and some may be auditory.
There is a scripture memorization checklist at the back of the book that we are working on - great for everyone in our family to memorize these verses - not just Grant!
See for yourself what a beautiful book this is:

This is such a cool book! Love it! Asher is visual . . .but quite honestly he has to have it combined with auditory. And repetition is KEY. Though it annoys him!
My girl is both. I'm sure one will become more dominant, as she becomes older, but I just haven't noticed it yet. Thanks for the giveaway. We would love to have it!
I have three little boys ages 9, 7 and 5. This would be a great devotional for them. Between the three of them, they are both visual and auditory learners. It would be great is we won! Thanks!
I would love to win this for my almost 5 year old. I would love to get him started in a great little Bible Study!!
My 6 year old is an auditory learner. I'm amazed at just how much she remembers just in hearing it once! She would love this devotional.
This book and the audio sound great. My son would do well with these. He is an audio learner. I was wondering what makes these books Hide & Seek? Do they have to find things on the pages? Looks fun!
My son is more of an auditory learner for sure. He loves to sit and write and draw while I read to him, and he retains the information so amazingly well. This looks like a terrific devotional for little boys. I have been looking for something like this for my big boy...very interested in this one! Thanks for te great giveaway and review.
This would be great not only for my 7 year old son but I think my 9 year old could join in also. My 7 year old is an auditory learner, repetition is necessary for him.
What a wonderful sounding devotional! My daughter is a visual learner! However, she also LOVES music, so this devotional sounds like something that would be perfect for her! Thank you for the giveaway opportunity!
my DS7 would love this. He is in that phase that he is becoming more of an independent reader, so his own devotional bible would be a great gift for him. He learns both ways too.
My younger son would enjoy this. He loves listening to stories and has recently started using his own Cd player to listen.
What an awesome giveaway! My son is a visual learner as well as an auditory learner, it depends on the subject.
He is a combination of auditory and visual .
My son is both auditory and visual!
