“101 Devotions For Busy Families” contains many topics for prayer and for family discussions. The Frye Family, consisting of parents Tom and Lisa Frye, and children Kaylan, Maggie and Jonathon travel as a band and  present ideas for this devotional book.  . 

 

My favorites are “Gardens,” where the planting of seeds is like raising children. “Ebenezer” which is something I did not know, and is a stone for an altar. “What Are You Saying,” shows the importance of words. “Windows and Mirrors” about looking at life, and “They Really Lived” that references one of my favorite films, “Second Hand Lions.”

 

Topics include Parenting, Fathers, Resurrection, Faith and Works and God’s Plans to name a few. Each topic has a page with a Bible verse, commentary, and questions at the end for discussion.  There are extra pages at the end of the book for personal notes.  At just over 100 pages, and pocket-size, it is handy to carry with you for personal inspiration or sharing a moment with someone.
