Hey, Mom and Dad (or youth worker)! Get ready to zap, laugh, explore, explode, build, slime, slide, and think new thoughts with those kids you love so much. Tim Shoemaker has a unique gift for delivering biblical truths and critical life lessons in wacky, relevant, and unforgettable ways.

This book is fabulous! The devotions are memorable, unique, fun for all ages, engaging, and not complicated. Theyre well explained, so you wont be overwhelmed. Your kids wont be eitherthe devotions are long enough and deep enough to think about without needing to be a Bible scholar. As Tim explains in his important opening statement about how to lead devotions so youll be consistent, thats not the point of short devotions. How refreshing! You can lead these successfully. Mostly, though, I love this book because Tim chose to emphasize very important and relevant truths for todays kids living in chaotic times. Im impressed! Id love to hear the discussions you have after you drop Jell-O brains, dig up buried ground beef, and try to melt Ivory soap in the microwave. You and your children are going to learn so much!
