Book Review - You Can Count On God - By Max Lucado (adapted by Tama Fortner) - Publication Date: 15 February 2022

 

This one hundred day devotional for young children has entries that are short, sweet, sound and simple.  Each day is based on a different Bible verse with verses chosen mainly from the New Testament, which I like.  Along with the verse and the devotional blurb, comes a short section that's either a prayer, something to remember or something to do.  There are some fun things and some that would get a child to consider issues on a more serious level such as doing something good for someone who may not have been very kind to them, or that shows Jesus loves them.

All in all, the layout is clear, has down-to-earth young person speak; there is comfort, and pro-activeness that encourages Christ-likeness.  In a nutshell, "light and easy" could be used to describe the book.  The possible drawback may be that there are no colorful illustrations, although there is a pleasing repeated motif on each page, throughout the volume.  I pray that each child who reads and acts upon the verses and what he or she reads from this devotional will indeed grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and know that they can indeed count on Him.
