Solomon got it right 3,000 years ago: "The writing of many books is endless." In 1994, my wife Sally (also an author) and I started Whole Heart Ministries, a nonprofit Christian ministry to help parents raise wholehearted children for Christ. After three decades of books, conferences, and online ministries, we're still writing books for Christian parents and families (and all of our children are now writers and authors, too). As a nonfiction author, I'm drawn to what I call "expository narrative" that is biblical, conceptual, and creative. As a fiction writer, I'm drawn to the beauty of language and words, and the power of the Christian imagination. I'm perpetually caught in the "so many projects, so little time" endless loop as an author, writer, songwriter, book designer, and children's illustrated storybook creator. The writing of many books is not really endless, but the end is not yet in sight. Learn more about my ministry and books on WholeHeart.org and ClayClarkson.com.

I have a lot Sally Clarkson's books for motherhood that are amazing and thought I'd give this one a try with the entire family. I love the coloring pages (I scan and print them so my kids can color them multiple times) and how everything is laid out. So easy to follow the lesson and questions to engage everyone. Love this!! I have 3 kids that are 5 and under and they aren't always cooperative, but it's easy enough to busy them with the coloring page and go over the devotional.

I have seen this before but had never purchased…but I wish I would have gotten it sooner. We have added this is our morning Bible time and it has been great. The questions each day are really fun and the constant review of the Bible verse has been great for the kiddos and me!

I plan to use this book to disciple my grandchildren. It contains everything needed for great and FUN teaching! It uses simple on sofa but there is plenty of Bible to back up the concepts. You can easily tailor it to the ages or needs of the children you are working with! I homeschooled my three boys and have rarely seen such great material in such an easily-accessed format.

This is a very helpful tool. The schedule and material is well laid out, easy to follow, and customizable. I love all things Sally Clarkson. I wish I had gotten this earlier. I love all the verses that are used with the ways. I appreciate all of the thought provoking questions and ways to relate the scripture to real life. We have been using this for four weeks with our 4, 8, 8, and 10 year old. I especially like the focused prayer suggestions. Great addition to any home.

Great intentions, but...
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2009
Verified Purchase
I originally gave this four stars, but if I could I'd lower my rating because the more I think about it, the more certain aspects of it bother me. It is clear that Clay Clarkson has truly the best of intentions. And it's difficult to critique a devotional book honestly when you agree with the mission -- just not the delivery. I think devotions are a vital part of raising your family. I also think that breaking it down into these sort of "Mission Statements" about the legacy you want your children to take into the world gives the devotions relevance and obvious significance. I like the family ways Clarkson chose, because I think they give great guidance, and we will definitely return to these as my children get older.

It's just... again sorry if it sounds mean... a little goofy. I don't know how many times I have asked one of the starter questions, and either had my family respond with either "WHAT??!!!" or laughter. Now, we're not a particularly cynical or sarcastic bunch, it's just how these are worded. One of the earliest examples from Family Way 1, "If you had a 'pocket parent' card that played a short digital message every 30 minutes, what would you want to hear? Not hear?" This was just responded to with a great big "HUH???" Surely there is a better way to word these. Another, from Family Way 6, "What would you think about a child who had an adult body? Why?" And from 7 "Sing an 'Amen' chorus loudly with off-pitch disharmony. Then sing it in unison and with harmony. What is the difference?" First off, you have to know an 'Amen' chorus tune to know what disharmony to sing. Also, you have to kids old enough to know harmony and disharmony. I just had my kids sing a song we all knew the wrong way.

But what irritates me is that I think some of the "lessons" are way off. Sometimes dangerously so. For example, from Family Way 8, day 4, Clarkson paraphrases 1 John 4:19-21 as John reflecting "the teachings of Jesus about loving our fellow Christians." Really? Just "our fellow Christians"? That's not what I'd taken from this passage all the times I'd read it before. And if that's the case, then our mission wouldn't reach very far. I don't think it's just a typo, though, because in the "Speak to God" section for the same day, he writes again, "Ask God to help you love your family and other CHRISTIANS" (emphasis mine). No, we are expected to love the non-Christians too, to demonstrate Christ-like love to them.

The Story Starters are also quite annoying. In fact, I just skip over them. It's so obvious what the answer is supposed to be that they don't really lend to discussion.

The Bible verses are usually good, though, and back up the Family Ways appropriately, and that is the most important issue. So I do think that this is ultimately a good purchase. Just be prepared to skip over or modify and paraphrase the questions. Or maybe laugh... that's good too.

This book takes you through 24 principals in scripture. It is layed out to help you ask your children questions about how different situations in life should be handled, then lead your children through scriptures and gives questions about how to apply the principal in their life. Each of the 24 lessons has 5 days layed out, so 24 weeks. You could do a 6th day recap. There are pictures to copy for coloring and memory verse cards in the back also! In 22 years old parenting, I have finally found a gem!

Great content but needs updating
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2022

Don’t judge the book by the cover. The bare risk in it is great. I love the questions and it works really well for multi-age families. My only “complaint” is that the look (cover, font, illustrations, etc) look like they were never updated after the first publishing. It’s not a big deal as the content is great, but I have to tell my friends specifically that it’s a great book for today’s generation despite how it looks.
