The Good News Family Devotional: 52 Weeks Through the Gospel of Mark

Lead Your Family Through the Gospel of Mark

If you are like most parents, you may struggle to find the time to read the Bible for yourself, much less the time to instruct and train your children. That's exactly why Michael and Melissa Kruger wrote The Good News Family Devotional.

For each chapter in this 52-week journey through Jesus's life, you'll read a devotion written specifically for moms and dads, preparing you for your family discussion while encouraging your own study of Scripture. Then, you'll find a clear, customizable guide for walking your children through this passage, along with

• specific questions for both younger and older children to engage the whole family
• a one-sentence Big Idea for the Week that will aid your children's memory and retention of key themes
• a family application question and closing prayer to help bring Christ's teachings into your daily life together

Written for ordinary families with full schedules, this flexible, Christ-centered guide will help you engage your children with consistency and purpose. Let your hearts be refreshed each day as you meditate on the life and ministry of Jesus together.
