Learning Families: Spiritual Lessons From Bible Animials

A family devotional from Howard Bean

Many parents see the importance of family worship, but struggle to find material suitable for their whole family. Learning Families is part of a series of devotional books that addresses that need. Each of the thirteen sections in this book focuses on animals from the Bible, including cows, horses, birds, and ants. Each section has readings for seven days, making ninety-one lessons enough for a quarter of a year. Each day’s lesson consists of two parts. The first part is especially for Dad and Mom and older children. It includes a suggested Scripture reading, a theme verse, and a devotional meditation on the topic introduced by the Scripture reading. The second part consists of a reading from a continued children’s story related to that week’s theme. Each story is followed by questions for review and discussion, which provide opportunities for applying the theme to life. May God bless your family worship time, that you and your family may grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
