Read With Me

by Jean Stapleton

Read with Me takes the stories and teachings of the Bible from the beginning of the Old Testament through to the end of the New, explaining them in simple, direct language. These devotions are ideal for reading to children – each one bringing out truths and questions, answers and lessons – and will bring your family closer to God. Each reading is divided up into four – God’s Word – gives you short passages of scripture to read together. Extra Info – teaches interesting facts about God, the Bible, and the world. By Myself – allows young and developing readers to tackle a sentence or two. Ask about it – asks questions that are easily answered from the readings. For older family members there is also an additional feature where, throughout the book, introductions are given to those Old and New Testament books that are featured. These give useful information for older children – or for adults to read alongside the family devotions. This book is simple effective way to encourage your family to come together and spend time in a daily walk with God through his word. Read to 5–7

This is a book for daily reading to give your kids an overview of the Bible. My girls love it and I'm able to ask my own questions and read the story out of their own Bible to make it more personal. Out of all the resources out there...and I've look through many, but not all...this is my favorite. Easy to use. Not too simple. Not too hard. Not too long. Not too short. It's JUST RIGHT!

Certainly one of the better family devotion books we’ve done. A good length, with extra info after a short bible reading and a portion for the children to read themselves which always helped with attention. Questions generally well aimed for our 5 and 6 year olds. Spans the whole bible, I especially liked that it didn’t just stop after the gospels or acts but went on through Paul’s letters, other letters and to Revelation.

Family devotional for 2020 over dinner. Great that it covers the full Bible, think the distribution is about right. Questions at a fairly simple comprehension type lesson but some nights that all you need to improve listening and they form a basis for further discussion.
