The Devotion Book Table

I met her at a book industry event. She was a children's ministry director for her church. I must admit she had a new-to-me idea that I truly loved.

Each year as we approach Christmas, she sets up a devotion book table for parents and kids.

Her goal is to get as many devotions for children and tweens in one spot for families to compare. Her hope is to get a good devotional fit into each child's hands as the New Year arrives. When families can preview and compare a wide variety of books, they are more likely to find one that their son or daughter will connect with and stick with for Bible study.

How can children's ministry leaders get sample copies of new, popular tween devotions? Many authors offer giveaways through sites such as Goodreads. Sometimes publishers have review copies available for the asking (if the reader is willing to post a review). 

For today only, I am offering a review copy of each tween devotional below to the first 25 children's ministry leaders who respond.

What: 

A review copy of Just Sayin' and Dare U 2 Open This Book

Who: 
Children's ministry leaders

How: 
Send the following to me at carolmcadamsmoore@gmail.com

• Your name
• Church name
• Church email address (for my monthly newsletter)
• Church snail mail address

What devotional is on your child's reading list for 2016?

Kid's Day in Christian Bookstores

It is Saturday! Yay! Let's hear it for Saturday!

What will your family be doing today? Saturday is a time for sports, chores, errands... It gets busy quickly, doesn't it?

I want to put one more thing on your list to do.

Actually, I am hoping that you will make it top priority.

Today is not just any Saturday. Today is Kid's Day at many independent Christian stores across the country. It is an annual event for children and their families. Special activities created by children's authors will be the focus.

  What people are saying about the devotionals --

• I know so many tweens that will love it, too–we just need to get it in their hands. They are learning about the Lord in a non-threatening and casual way, which is awesome and what this age group needs. - See more at: http://margodill.com/blog/2014/09/25/cool-and-hip-devotionals-for-kids-by-carol-mcadams-moore/#sthash.utX3wvxY.GRa3Md2u.dpuf

  She definitely knows how to speak into the hearts of this age and my daughter says this is the coolest book she's had about God! More  Melissa, Parent and Homeschooler
• II wanted to let you know how much my students enjoyed your bookmarks and devotion pages. We have been studying "ways to become wise" in Bible class and were discussing reading our Bibles a few days before the items arrived. They made a great added bonus to my lesson plans. Thank you so much!!!!
