3-Minute Devotions for Mommy and Me

I love the illustration! The text is short and on point! The thematic is one that interests children of different ages. I wish it had more pictures, but overall it is a great book for bedtime reading!

3-Minute Devotions For Mommy and Me is a perfect devotional for parents and young children. I love how it was broken up into distinct parts each day: verse, talk about it, read about it and pay about it. It made the devotions easy to read, interactive and engaging. I would use this with my own kids and purchase as a gift for other young families.

3-Minute Devotions for Mommy and Me is an excellent resource for parents to use with their young children to help foster a love and appreciation for the beautiful words of the Bible. Stacey Thureen created a reader friendly book that uses colorful illustrations to accompany verses from the Bible. She included questions for parents to ask their children in order to foster discussion, such as "What makes a good friend?" which go along with the Bible verses selected. There are sections for the parents to read to their children that relate the verses from the Bible to their everyday life in a way that young children can understand. I also liked the prayers that were included for the children to use in their own prayers to God. They were written in a simple way and used words that children that age would say.

The book is recommended for ages 3-7. As a parent to a 5 year old and a 3 year old, I will say that this book was perfect to use with my 5 year old. My 3 year old was a little on the younger side for the book but she loved feeling "grown-up" getting to pray with her older brother and answering the discussion questions. If the book had more illustrations, that would further interest the younger children (especially the 3 year olds) and hold their attention better. This is a resource that I will continue using with my children. I definitely recommend this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing through NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

This is the perfect book for bedtime reading. I loved the illustrations and how the devotions were broke down into 3 parts, Talk About It, Read About It, and Pray About it. This would make a great gift for any child. Thank you Barbour Publishing via NetGalley for the ARC copy of this book. This is my honest opinion and I highly recommend it.

Thank you, NetGalley and Barbour Publishing for this ARC!! What a perfect addition to the bedtime routine when my niece and nephew sleep over! Talk About it...Read About It....Pray About It! This will be a must in my gift giving for my mom friends!

Mommy and Me is a devotional written to enrich the relationship between your toddler and God. Each devotional draws connections from real life e.g. making too much noise in the car while mommy is driving, helping at home, and trouble with friends or hurt feelings. I liked that each devotional began with a Bible verse relevant to the lesson, had a section for the parent and child to discuss the issue before reading about it. The day’s prayer reinforces each day’s topic.

3-Minute Devotions for Mommy and Me covered the basic truths of Christianity such as:
• God loves us
• He hears and listens to us
• He answers prayers
• He teaches us
• Jesus died for our sins

Children are encouraged to read their Bible, pray and pursue a friendship with God. Some of the devotions contain material which could lead to deeper discussions thus strengthening the child’s bond with their mother.

Ms. Thureen was not afraid to approach more challenging topics such as:
• Our commission to preach, teach and make disciples
• That there is one true God
• God is a spirit
• Using our spiritual gifts
• The character of God
• Being equipped for spiritual warfare

Each topic was handled in a way that would be easy for a child to assimilate, and to make it even better the illustrations are beautiful, colorful and appealing.

Thanks to Net Galley for an advanced reader copy.

This devotion is meant to be done together with your young children ages 3 to 7. Each day mother and child learn something new about about God and his relationship with you. Starting with a verse and a conversation that is titled "Talk About It", a question and "Read About It" and ending with "Pray About It".

The devotion covers many attributes about God but also about his will for your life. It is a great way for mom to discuss biblical insights, discover insights on your own, and together respond in unity how that looks in how you make decisions, respond to others, and most important worship. A great bed time ritual to end your day and memories to keep for a life time.

A Special Thank you to Barbour Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to review this book for my honest opinion. This is a great little devotional book for little ones. The topics are all age appropriate and the illustrations are engaging. I like the sections for each devotional to talk about it, read about it and pray about it. Each section gives an opportunity for discussion and for my 4 year-old and 7 year old, it's a great way to really find out where they are clear and where they have questions about the Christian faith.
