I wish I had this when I was a kid! This collection of 52 devotions focuses on the names of Jesus and what He means to us. I really appreciated that each devotion had a specific verse anchoring it and also included many related Bible verses within the devotion. There were many different translations of the Bible used (NIV, Message, NKJV, Amplified, NLV) depending on which version was most "kid-friendly" and/or connected best.
At the end of each devotion, there's a short one sentence prayer as well as a quick "Think About It" reflection/discussion question or suggestion for how to extend the lesson into your own prayer and quiet time. (Examples: What worry do you need Jesus to replace with his peace? // (after a list of scripture to look up) Which one of the scriptures you looked up meant the most to you and why? // Why do you think some things about God are still a great mystery to humans?).
