I have had the great pleasure of reviewing a couple books by Tricia Goyer. I have fallen in love with her writing, both fiction and non-fiction and have now been given the opportunity to review a devotional for children that she has been able to work on. The devotional is Whit’s End Mealtime Devotions by John Avery Whittaker with help from Tricia Goyer and Crystal Bowman.
Mealtimes in our day and age are very sadly a dying thing. Many people are so over-booked, overworked and overwhelmed to sit down and take a meal together because there just doesn’t seem to be enough time. But what a wonderful thing for the family it is. There have been many studies that show that families who eat meals together regularly have less troubles within themselves and with their kids as they grow older. The family grows into a tight knit unit and I ask this… how wonderful is that!
This devotional is wonderful because it gives the family something fun to chew on during that mealtime. It gives your mealtime more meaning that just the fact that is is centered around food. They are short fun little devotionals. And each one is a little different. Sometimes they require getting out the Bible, other times it is just about asking and answering questions. Regardless, they are so great and filling. I highly recommend it for your family. They will love it as much as I do! But the best test was my daughter… she is head over heals in love with this devotional and ask, “Do we get to do the devotional again!!!” She can’t wait!
Here is a copy of the first several pages if you would like to check it out for yourself!

What a wonderful idea! My family is not the best at having traditional meal time moments and this is something that I’ve been wanting to do. What a great devotional! We typically spend time together before bed and read a kids devotional book that I’ve had since my oldest son was a toddler. Thanks for hosting the giveaway! I follow your blog, Facebook and Twitter 🙂
Hi Michelle! It is fun, and it isn’t super time consuming. I too do bed time devotions and reading time with my daughter. But this was fun to add to dinner and my Muppin LOVES it! lol I have your name entered 🙂 Be blessed my friend!
We do our devotions at night while in bed. (We all lie in bed and pray and do devotions at that time)It seems to bring on a lot of discussion when the lights are out!
