A few months ago I reviewed a book
called “Epic”; it had 40 chapters of stories covering the grand themes of the
Bible. It’s in the style of a graphic novel and is geared for the 8-12 age
group. Today I am pleased to take a look at another book by the same author and
illustrator, Aaron Armstrong and Heath McPherson. Epic
Devotions: 52 Weeks in the Story that Changed the World (B&H Publishing
Group, 2019) is also written in the style of a graphic novel, with the same
target age group.
Each chapter
or devotion is structured in the same way, and the “how to use” is found at the
very beginning of the book. There is a key scripture verse, followed by the
entire applicable passage and a summary of what happened in the particular
passage. Then there are some action items to help you apply what you have
learned, some questions for discussion (especially helpful for parents or
grandparents who may be helper the younger children with the book, and finally
a memory verse.
I think this is a good selection of
‘Bible stories” to include in this type of book, and the eye-popping
illustrations will hold the attention of most children. All in all a great way to introduce young
readers to the Bible and to the ‘Story that Changed the World”.
I received a copy of this book from
the publisher as a member of their bloggers program. I was not required to post
a positive review
4/5
