Gospel Centered Family Devotionals

March 5, 2020 by Aliesha

Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

I’ve been loving this series on Gospel centered resources for families, and it looks like you guys have been too, based on your comments on Facebook and the fact that you’ve been ordering some of these books for your own families! Today I’m sharing Gospel centered family devotionals and other resources to aid you as you teach God’s Word to your kids!

If your kids are quite young, reading many of the Bible story books I shared yesterday are quite appropriate for the level at which they are learning! But as they grow, many of the books in this post will become more appropriate!

The New City Catechism | Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

We have been teaching our kids the New City Catechism since Vera was three! The older three kids know most of the 52 questions fairly well, and we’re cycling through the book again to help the younger ones grasp the questions and answers too! We snagged a few of the tiny books so each of the kids would have their own copy. They’ve loved that!

Currently, we’re reading through Long Story Short (ebook version) at our dinnertime family devotions. Tad reads the Bible passage and accompanying devotional, then asks the kids questions. After that we practice our catechism questions.

Indescribable | Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

Indescribable is the family devotional I read in the mornings to the kids last year during our school year. Each devotional is quite short, and helps them learn more about all the cool things God has designed in our world! Awesome for kids who love science, nature, and animals.

Sally Michael | Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

I can’t say enough good things about these devotionals by Sally Michael! We’ve enjoyed reading God’s Names, God’s Design, God’s Word, God’s Providence, and God’s Promise during our morning time in our homeschool. My own heart has been encouraged by these powerful books! There are others in the series too, I believe!

I Am | Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

If you’re looking for a book that teaches your kids about God’s names while also teaching through Bible stories, I Am: 40 Reasons to Trust God might be exactly what you’re looking for! Each devotional isn’t too long, so it would be a great way to start or end your day.

Our 24 Family Ways | Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

This week we started reading through Our 24 Family Ways during our morning time in our homeschool. This family devotional helps build foundational principles in your home and family, guiding your kids through Scripture passages to help them understand why we choose to honor God in these specific ways.

Tiny Theologians | Gospel Centered Family Devotionals | Feathers in Our Nest

Tiny Theologians offers excellent, Gospel centered resources for families training their kids about God! From ABC cards (attributes of God, names of God, and theology), to Big Words of the Bible (teaching key Greek and Hebrew words), to the fantastic Christ at the Center cards (which help aid an understanding of how all the books of the Bible fit together), you’ll definitely be able to find a resource that will serve your family well! These cards are great for reviewing at mealtimes, OR hanging up and displaying somewhere in your home!

I’d love to hear from you! What books has your family enjoyed using for family devotions? I’m always on the lookout for new books!

Gospel Centered Story Bibles

March 4, 2020 by Aliesha

Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

In addition to our picture book collection, we also have lots of Gospel centered story Bibles and Bible adaptations in our home library as well!

Jesus Storybook Bible | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

Hands-down, our favorite is the Jesus Storybook Bible! This is the most beautiful retelling of the overall story of the Bible–every story whispers HIS name! We love it!

Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

By the same author as the above title, Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing is another beautiful book that we love to read to our kids!

Found | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

We also love this beautiful retelling of Psalm 23 for younger readers, called Found! The illustrations are lovely and our kids have really enjoyed this title.

Psalms | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

Psalms for Young Children is another great one! It’s good for helping our children understand how they also can express their emotions to God!

The Biggest Story | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

This is another amazing retelling of the big story of Scripture! The Biggest Story: How the Snake Crusher Brings us Back to the Garden is gorgeous and powerful! I enjoy it as much as my kids!

Mighty Acts of God | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

Mighty Acts of God is directed for kids who are a bit older than the above-mentioned resources, and it’s really nice for reading before bed!

The Beginners Gospel Story Bible | Gospel Centered Story Bibles | Feathers in Our Nest

We just added the Beginner’s Gospel Story Bible to our home library at Christmas, but the kids have been enjoying it! My son has been reading it in his afternoon rest time, which is neat to see!

Honorable mention: The Big Picture Story Bible! We literally wore out our copy! But we still love listening to the audio version on Audible!

I’d love to hear in the comments… does your family have any of these story Bibles? Or do you have a different one that you love reading with your kids? Tell me down below!

And feel free to save this post for later, or share it with a friend who would love these resources too!

Gospel Centered Picture Books

March 3, 2020 by Aliesha

Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

Our family has been collecting gospel-centered picture books for our children since they were small, and I thought it would be fun to share some of our family’s favorites!

I’m planning a few more posts with other gospel centered resources for families, so get excited! I love helping other families find books that will build and grow their home libraries.

The Garden the Curtain and the Cross | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

I’ll start with this amazing title for Easter, or any time of year! The Garden the Curtain and the Cross shares the true story of why Jesus died and rose again! It’s beautifully illustrated, and there are some companion resources you can get as well: an Easter calendar, and a coloring book! (Just ordered those and I’ll share them on Instagram when they arrive!)

The Storm that Stopped | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

The Storm that Stopped is another favorite picture book at our house! It tells the story of Jesus calming the sea, and it is a great book for explaining to children that Jesus was God!

Goodbye to Goodbyes | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

Goodbye to Goodbyes is another wonderful one for the Easter season, as it tells how Jesus has power over life AND death!

The Friend Who Forgives | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

In the picture book The Friend Who Forgives, we read about Peter and his failures, and learn about the amazing grace of Jesus as He forgives Peter!

God's Very Good Idea | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

God’s Very Good Idea is a picture book about the church… God’s wonderful, delightfully different family that He planned! Wonderful for helping little ones understand the purpose of the church and what it means to live in community with others.

Zoe's Hiding Place | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

We really love these Gospel centered picture books by David Powlison and Ed Welch! The one pictured above is Zoe’s Hiding Place (a book about anxiety), but we also love Jax’s Tail Twitches (a book about anger), and Buster’s Ears Trip Him Up (a book about failure). These books teach through BIG concepts in a very biblical way!

The Biggest Story ABC | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

Your tiniest readers will love this board book: the Biggest Story ABC! Each board book page features brightly colored illustrations that teach biblical concepts for each letter of the alphabet.

God Made Light | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

God Made Light teaches the story of creation and God’s mighty work of speaking light into being, and then the book shows how as image bearers, we get to reflect God’s light to the world!

God Made All of Me | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

An important picture book on a serious topic, God Made All of Me teaches children about protecting their bodies, and opens up good topics for discussion between parents and children! We’ve read this many times with our kids and it’s been very helpful in them understanding appropriate touch and behavior. (I wrote my original review of this book several years ago.)

Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr | Gospel Centered Picture Books | Feathers in Our Nest

Another important issue is addressed in this picture book: Good Pictures Bad Pictures Jr. We have read this with our older three kids and found it very helpful in teaching them what to do when they encounter inappropriate pictures. This book helps prepare them with a plan!

I hope you enjoyed learning about some of our family’s favorite Gospel centered picture books! I have three more posts coming with additional resources we love— family devotions, story Bibles, and books for your older readers too!

Feel free to save this post or share it with a friend!
