FREE Family Devotions, 147-Day Devotional

Christ Centered Devotional for the Whole Family

As a home-schooling family, we’ve enjoyed many daily devotions with our children. But as we surveyed Christian resources that were available for family devotions, it seems that most focused solely on teaching ethics or life lessons, whereas we wanted to teach our kids about Jesus and Scripture (which certainly includes a lot of ethics and life lessons, but also a whole lot more).

Christ-Centered Family Devotions

So I set myself to the task of writing a daily devotional for families that centered on the life of Christ, touching most everything written about Him in the four Gospels. It ended up being a 147-day devotional, which your family can now use each day as well. Each day there is an application and questions to provoke discussion with children. I recommend that parents read my family devotion introduction using the button below first, which contains some practical ideas on how to hold daily family devotions.
