CONNECT YOUR FAMILY TO JESUS THIS LENT SEASON
Experience Jesus’ incredible COMPASSION, his unexpected MISSION,
and the holy sweetness of FRIENDSHIP with him.
Hi, I’m Christie Thomas.
When my kids were young, it was fairly easy to do “devotions” with my kids because I had resources to help me make it fun and educational.
But then my eldest outgrew our favorite resource. We started at least 5 new devotional books but I kept throwing them away in frustration. None of them worked! They were too complicated or too metaphorical or too…much.
Not only that, but I wanted to do something with all my kids, not
just one at a time.
That’s when I realized that I could just read the ACTUAL BIBLE with my kids!
It wasn’t always easy, but I started creating questions and other totally simple hands-on ways to interact with each day’s reading, and a new habit was born: one of reading the actual Bible with all 3 of my children, 5 years apart in age.
If we want our kids to walk with God, they have to move past devotionals at some point, and read the actual Bible.
And the BEST place to start is with the Gospels.
Why?
Because the best way to get to know who God is…is by falling in love with Jesus.
WARNING: Continue reading ONLY if you are ready to:
✔️Fall in love with Jesus
✔️Experience the deep compassion of Jesus
✔️Understand why Jesus had to die (and rise again)
✔️Understand Jesus' more confusing teachings
✔️ Get into the habit of meeting with Jesus daily
✔️ Read a whole book of the Bible as a family (yes, you CAN do it!)
The 40 Days With Jesus Bible Family Bible Study will take you through the entire book of Mark in 40 days.
UNDERSTAND THE BOOK OF MARK
The study includes family-friendly background info and video links for Mark.
FAMILY LEARNING
Each day’s reading is broken into a full or shortened version, with open-ended discussion questions for your whole family. You can modify this study to use on your own, to use with young kids, older kids, and even with teens.
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Each day includes a simple play-based activity for your younger kids and a thoughtful devotional just for you (or your teens).
This resource is a downloadable PDF so you can print it off immediately or use it from your device.
PRICE: $15 $10
Elissa's review:
“Reading through what you have provided has helped us to read through the gospel of Mark with a fresh perspective (my husband and I both grew up in Christian homes and have done a lot of Biblical studies over the years). We really appreciate in this reading of Mark, that you consistently asked us to look for how Jesus’ heart and actions reveal what God is like.”
Careen's review:
“Your use of the word “pavior” inspired me to help prepare the way for Jesus in the hearts of our eleven grandchildren (10 and under).”
Cathy's review:
“This study really helped deepen my understanding of the gospel, which directly correlates with my growing faith. I loved it so much I am now using it as a mentorship tool.”
