Bright Gems for His Crown

by Maxine Randall
Picture

This book is designed to help elementary young people love and live for Christ now, and to develop qualities of character that will help them shine for Him. Children who can read can do the devotionals by themselves, but parental involvement, particularly in the activities, is strongly encouraged. Also, we have learned that many parents use this book for family devotions with their children, even preschoolers.

The devotionals are in the format of 31 biblical truths and character traits, one for each day of the month. Each daily truth or trait is repeated for 3 months, with a different devotional for each month. They can be started any month of the year; months may be skipped in between, etc. Each devotional has a scripture text, a title, a brief meditation on the topic at hand, and a sentence or question requiring an immediate response. Then, there is an optional activity for each devotional, which can be done later in the day. Many of these activities are geared to encourage parental input. 

Ages: Late preschool (with parents) through 4th grade.
