A great devotional for youth, the Word of Promise Next Generation is easy and fun to read. As an adult, I enjoyed it immensely. It teaches without preaches.
This is part of a devotional guide series. It is focused on How Should a Christian Live? It includes a MP3 CD to help youth cement the concept in their hearts.
As stated in the description, Thomas Nelson used the eye-catching approach to help understand the stories and concepts in the bible. It’s described as GET-IT, GRAB-IT, HOLD-IT, GIVE-IT, DEFINE IT, and LIVE IT. How does that look? In session four, it’s about the concept of faith. Thomas doubted Jesus had come back to life. He had to see it. Faith is belief that Jesus exists even though we cannot see Him (GET-IT). A fun word search (look for faith) cleverly titled Finding Faith. The GRAB-IT is comparing the wind with knowing Jesus. We can feel the wind but cannot see it. The scripture for this lesson is Hebrews 11:1. The DEFINE-IT portion is the heart and how it relates to the human spirit. This is only a portion of what the lesson offers.
I loved this book even though it’s designed for youth. It includes many puzzles like word searches, scramble, fill in the blank, code deciphering, etc. For some, reading the Bible may be daunting but it makes it much easier when there’s a devotional to go with it. You can read the scripture in context and the devotional to bring it to life.
The best part of the book is how it applies to our lives today and a journaling section. Journaling is a great way to document spiritual growth. I highly recommend this book for today’s youth!
