I Love God's Green Earth by Michael and Caroline Carroll



Great Devotional!

I loved this devotional book!

It’s a 90-day devotional and each day it’s broken down by the following parts:

• It starts each day with a scripture verse that correlates with the lesson.
• A short story of facts that surround our earth.
• Connection – how does it relate to us today or to the bible.
• Fun or amazing fact or news flash.
• Jokes
• What can I do?

There are drawings/pictures each day, which make it more fun for the kids. My son flipped through the book and found the devotion that he wanted to start with. It was Day 32 entitled ‘Disneyland’s Green Train.’ It talks about how Disneyland opened in 1955 and now the Disneyland Railroad has gone green. It’s estimated that this change has saves 200,000 gallons of diesel fuel each year! The What Can I do portion tells us that we can rejoice in God’s power. There is nothing stronger than the Power of God.

Our action step as a family is to remember that God is in control over all of His Creation. Jesus reminds us that we will have trouble in the world but He has overcome the world. When things get difficult, we will look towards God instead of away from Him.

I recommend this book for kids up to age 12. I highly suggest a small discussion afterwards on how each family can make a difference on God’s Earth. If everyone took one small step, it can make a huge difference. We each need to do our part.
