This
book is a great devotional for the Lenten season. Ciuciu has written
40 devotions that emphasize how Jesus loved people in Bible times and
how He loves us now. The book is designed to help us show that same
love to others.
Each
devotion has a story about Jesus to read, challenges to apply what was
learned, a prayer and Scripture references for additional study. An
added feature is a once a week family celebration. There are
suggested activities each week, from crafts to service projects.
I
really like this Lenten devotional. Ciuciu has a way of making the
stories of Jesus' encounters with others really come alive. I also
like her emphasis of sharing God's love with others. “We cannot
claim to have experienced Jesus' love and remain indifferent to those
suffering around us ...” (Loc 144/1743) I also like the weekly
family sessions. There are good activities suggested to help children
understand the love of Jesus and possible ways of giving that same love to
others. Ciuciu will have resources on her website, such as printable
activity sheets, when the book is released January 7, 2020.

My
rating: 5/5 stars.
