I like this both as an introduction to Jesus, and as a way of developing an understanding of Jesus. At only a page or so each, it doesn't go too deep or make reading about the particular devotion/prayer onerous for younger readers. Equally suitable for adults.

Enjoyed this book. Kept me interested all the way through. Would recommend to a fellow reader. Love the cover.

Be Like Jesus is an enjoyable devotional for younger children based on the book of Matthew. The stories are very relatable for young children while learning that there is a God that loves them and is bigger than anything scary on this Earth. Stories keep the attention of children, helping them grow in their faith and learn to trust Jesus.

Thanks to Netgalley and Barbour for this ARC! These thoughts are my own.

Be Like Jesus is a great book for parents to teach their children about God. Marilee's formula of a short scripture, a small explanation and a prayer, gives parents an easy way to bring God into their family schedule. It can be used at bedtime or as a daily lesson. Plus it opens the door for great discussions. (This is my honest opinion even as I recieved this book through NetGalley)

Be Like Jesus by Marilee Parrish is a wonderful prayer devotional based on scripture, a reflection for the students, and then a followup prayer. As a Catholic Educator in a junior high/middle school setting, it is so hard to find prayer resources that are approachable for all students to be able to make connections with and mature enough while being engaging them at their stage of faith, I am VERY impressed as the layout of the book and the connections that I know that students will make to this devotional in the classroom. As a purchaser for my religion team, I will be purchasing one for everyone of my teachers to use in their classroom as well as making sure the entire division uses this book with this particular grade level. I would love to see what Marilee Parrish writes in devotionals and resources for this particular grade level, She has a talent for connecting the scripture and Jesus with reflections that the students will be able to identity with! I LOVE THIS BOOK!

This is devotional is a "must have' if you have kids or grandkids. It has a short devotion, bible verses and a prayer. This would make a great bedtime book for you and your child to read together. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion and I highly recommend this book.

I am not a Blogger but an average reader, I love to read good material. When I saw the title of your book along with the design I had to inquire and I was not disappointed. This book was well overdue, I cannot wait until it is publish. If you are giving out free copies I would love to have one.
