God's Mighty Acts in Salvation
I am particularly excited about Mighty Acts in Salvation, a profound walk-through of the book of Galatians geared especially for your preteens. The core truths of the gospel are in this letter to the Galatians, and Mighty Acts in Salvation does an excellent job of helping your child unpack not only what is revealed there, but also how to live life in light of those truths.
Justification, Old and New Covenants...
Not just the gospel but also justification by faith alone, the priority of Scripture, the requirements for apostleship, and the relationship between the old and new covenants are explored. Sounds heavy, I know, but each selection is only a couple of pages long, and the style of writing is quite engaging.
About the God's Mighty Acts... Series:
I am very excited about this new set of devotionals by Starr Meade. Starr's books unfailingly cause a child to think deeply about the works of God. And unlike simplistic, feel-good-about-yourself devotions, Starr never glosses over how repulsive is our sin, and how great is God's grace.
All Ages Benefit
In both books the daily reading points to the gospel, and includes a key verse, thought-provoking questions, and family friendly activities. While it is entirely appropriate for your preteens to use these books on their own, we strongly urge you to use Mighty Acts in Salvation and Mighty Acts in Creation as part of your family devotion time. All ages will benefit from a deeper look at these life-changing truths.
Long before we reach adulthood, the gospel ought to be shaping our lives. Paul taught the core truths of the gospel in his letter to the Galatians, and this collection of interactive readings for preteens applies those truths in understandable ways.
Each reading begins with a key verse and then highlights one element of the gospel in everyday terms, followed by questions and activities that reinforce Paul's teaching. Meade guides young readers to a full picture of God's saving work, as well as a real understanding of other doctrinal concepts such as justification by faith alone, the priority of Scripture, the requirements for apostleship, and the relationship between the old and new covenants.
For parents and teachers who want to awaken young hearts to a lifelong commitment to the gospel, God's Mighty Acts in Salvation is a great resource. This is a companion volume to
God's Mighty Acts in Creation.
