Some days there’s plenty of time for reading the Bible with your kids and praying together. Other days, despite your best efforts, not so much.

But you’ve all got to eat, right?

So why not use mealtimes as devotional times?

What, that sounds too boring? Your kids will never go for it?

Um, I think they will … IF you’ve got a new book to help you out–Whit’s End Mealtime Devotions from Focus on the Family and Tyndale House Publishers.

The paperback is slim enough to fit in a purse or backpack (for meals on the go) but packed with plans for getting your family talking about God’s Word. (And there’s a Kindle version too.)

Use it at breakfast, at a fast-food meal after soccer practice, or gathered around your family’s table for everyday dinners or special occasions.

John Avery Whittaker, the wise proprietor of Adventure in Odyssy’s Whit’s End, is your host (with help from author and speaker Tricia Goyer and Christian Children’s Authors’ own Crystal Bowman).

The book contains 90 devotions. Each begins with a prayer or prayer suggestions, followed by an Appetizer (something fun to get kids thinking), the Main Course (a short introduction to the day’s topic, often related to a Bible event), Table Talk (questions to get everyone talking about the topic), and Vitamins & Minerals (a related Bible verse).

There’s a separate section of devotions for holidays plus one for special-theme devotions, for events including a camping trip, a night with grandparents, a scavenger hunt, and more!

I wish I’d had Whit’s End Mealtime Devotions when my girls were school age. But now, thanks to the publisher, I can give another family a copy instead!
