Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Joshua Wiggins and the King's Kids
Charles Beamer · 1981
70/100
👍 Worth It
Bethany House's 1981 devotional pairs Bible verses with discussion questions designed for family use, and for its intended audience—evangelical and mainline Protestant families with children aged 6 to 10—it does exactly what it sets out to do. The cultural references are dated, and it has no value outside a faith-formation context, but within that context it is a practical, clean, well-structured tool.
