Give Your Child the Gift of God’s Grace—Every Day.
Grace is: God’s best idea . . . More than we deserve … And greater than we imagine. But how can you plant this important message of grace into the heart of your child?
Adapted from the bestselling devotional for adults (with more than 3 million copies sold), Grace for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids presents the message of God’s grace in a way that children can understand. It’s perfect for families to read together or for older readers to enjoy alone. Each day offers a devotion and scripture to encourage regular time with God. And because giving grace is just as important as receiving it, a “Growing in Grace” opportunity accompanies each devotion, offering practical and easy-to-do activities to help kids apply God’s grace—every day and every moment.

My wife and I "discovered" Max Lucado and his writing several years ago. In my opinion, he's one of the few authors who can write equally well for all ages from toddler through adult about living a Christian life. According to the publisher, the devotionals in this book are geared for kids age six and up. As with a number of Lucado's books, the theme is God's grace, which he explains to kids thusly: Grace is God saying, "I know you've messed up, but I still love you anyway." Even young kids can relate to that.
The format for the devotionals in "Grace for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids" is a daily Bible verse, followed by a brief devotional and some "Growing in Grace" practical advice for applying the lesson of the devotional in a kid's own life. (This is similar to the format for the adult editions of "Grace for the Moment," with the addition of the practical advice.) By the way, there's no entry for February 29, so you'll need to recycle a devotional in leap years.
The devotionals are a marvelous way for kids to start their day. They're short - about 2-3 minutes to read and digest - but they're invaluable for setting the tone for the day and for imparting the message that God is a part of their life seven days a week, not just on Sunday. Max Lucado has proven that he can write for kids without "dumbing down" the content or style, and these devotionals are as inspirational in their own way as those in his adult books. The book indicates that it's "Adapted by Tama Fortner." All I know about Ms. Fortner is that she's a published author and a compiler of children's books.
I highly recommend "Grace for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids" for your own kids and for other kids in your family and circle of friends.
Note: I reviewed an advance reader copy of the book made available by the publisher through NetGalley.

HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
I was already a fan of Grace for a Moment. I have the morning and evening edition in one book in my bedroom I could not wait to read Grace for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids by Max Lucado. The book did not disappoint. You have devotionals for every day of the year. They are written in a way that makes sense to kids. The book stayed near our kitchen table where we spend most of our time. After a meal or anytime, I would read with my children today's devotional.
The devotion on January 3rd "Worry Doesn't Work" was especially relevant to my son. He tends to worry a lot about things that are not in his control. Lucado compared worries to a big thunderstorm which my kids are afraid of and cannot change. He says God can fix anything, but worrying does not change a thing. The kids are reminded that God "put his angels in charge of you". The Growing In Grace section suggested that you can imagine putting your worries in a box, say a prayer and hand it over to God. What a great visual and lesson on how to handle worry!
My son actually tried the suggestion from the Growing in Grace section from the January 4th devotional. It is titled "God Lives Here". Kids are encouraged to make room for Jesus. He explained it as if you were decorating a room. "Let Him live long enough in a heart, and that heart will begin to change." The suggestion in Growing in Grace was to decorate your room with God's Word. What did my son do after reading it? He put sticky notes around his room with Bible verses. At first I was upset because all I could see was that most of my sticky notes were gone, but then I realized he made a connection with what he read. That was more important.
I originally received this book from NetGalley in an eBook format. I liked it so much, I bought the hardcover book.
This book receives 5 stars.
