Nancy Guthrie’s latest One Year Devotional is called Praying Through the Bible for Your Kids. Like her previous devotionals in the “One Year” series, this is “designed for people who live busy, active lives.”

The Bible readings are brief, the devotional commentary is simple yet profound, the prayer is tailored to each reading, and each day is headlined with a memorable title that neatly sums up the day’s focus.

Her aim is to encourage parents to worry less and pray more. The book will do all that and much more, not least the enrichment of our prayer lives through more varied and specific prayers.

This would be a wonderful gift for parents to help them grow not just spiritually closer to their kids, and to one another, but, above all, closer to God.
