Devotionals

You won’t find a more important focus for your family devotional than a daily highlighting of the gospel of grace. Why? Simply put, the gospel “is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). Clever stories and good moral lessons may entertain and help our children, but the gospel will transform our children. The gospel is deep enough to keep you learning and growing all your life, yet simple enough to transform the heart of your first grader who has just begun to read. Long Story Short (OT) and Old Story New (NT) help busy parents pass on the gospel of grace to their children in just ten minutes a day. Each week in the devotionals corresponds with the Sunday lesson from the Gospel Story Sunday School Curriculum.

"Long Story Short is simply an outstanding book, and Christian families need it right now. I have never seen a devotional book that is so well suited to family devotions and to children, even as it is faithful in relating biblical truth. This book will help any Christian parent lead family devotions that will be memorable, faithful, and practical for Christian living. I'll admit this too, parents will find that they love the stories, illustrations, and learning suggestions along with their children. Marty Machowski has written a wonderful book."

"Best Family Devotional Book on the Market - I wish this book had been written when my children were young! It is so well written that anyone can be made to look and feel like a pro. I taught junior high and high school in a public school system for 34 years. This book is the best set of lesson plans that any teacher could ask for or produce. Each lesson points to Jesus throughout the Old Testament and is only 10 minutes in length. The author also gives advice for what age to begin family devotions and how to adjust the lessons to fit all ages. What an amazing tool for Christian parenting!"
