Our family finished this devotional, I AM Devotional: 100 Devotions About the Name of God, by Diane Stortz, about a week ago. Each two page devotional features a name of God, a Bible verse or two, along with a reflection about the particular name of God, a prayer, questions for reflection, and a Bible passage to read to go deeper.
We liked it. It was especially fun trying to pronounce the names, when they were in a language other than English (phonetic spelling was provided, but we still struggled). I would have liked to have more scripture incorporated into each devotion, but the length of the devotions was just right for our after supper devotional time, and the messages were more or less relevant to our lives. I loved how the names describe God's character. By learning His names, we learned more about Him.
Bottom line: this is a good devotional for the elementary age group, exposing them (and their parents), to names of God that they might not be familiar with.
I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher through Book Look Bloggers in exchange for my honest review.
