Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and
wait for the LORD. ~Psalm 27:14
The world that we live in can be a scary place sometimes, but for kids it can be even scarier. We all need God to help anchor us and give us courage and to hold us stead in these quickly changing times. One of the newest resources that I have generously received the chance to review is the new book from Levi Lusko titled Roar Like A Lion. Roar Like A Lion was written to help give courage. It includes 90 devotions to encourage your child to be more courageous in their faith and life, in both the highs and lows that life will have along their path.
What I loved about the devotions was that they speak to kids on a level they can relate to. Since the age group this devotional is targeted to is 6-10, the devotions are not over complicated or too long to read. They start off with a bible verse. The devotions are short and based on issues that children in this age range would be facing in their lives. They are very relatable and understandable and cover topics such as dealing with grief, their place in God's amazing story, how to handle peep pressure, and so many more topics that kids face daily.
One of the other things I love is that the devotions have a side bar that you can use for some discussion time with your little one. This will help you expand on what they just read and you can then offer more of God's words of wisdom to help clarify or have longer discussion with your children. The other small detail that I think is wonderful is the short prayer at the end of the devotion for your children to pray. Start them young praying for everything helps later in life and the small prayers are quick and meaningful.
The other amazing feature that Lusko thought about when creating this book was the illustrations. The illustrations are by Catherine Pearson and they are absolutely beautiful and eye catching. As you can see from the cover and the image above the illustrations are bright, colorful and so fun! They are very age appropriate and perfect for this book. What's even more fun about the illustrations is that hidden thought the pictures are anchors for your child to find. They are not on every page, but looking for the anchor is a great way to get your child engaged in the devotion and the quality time with you.
Overall, this is a perfect devotional for your primary school age child. I honestly can not find anything about this devotional that I didn't like. Even the cover is perfect. It's a hard cover and will take the bumps and thumps that your child could put it through.
