A Family Devotional That Helps Children Reflect on the Actions of Christ This Lenten Season
Lent is an important season of reflection. It’s a time to remember the suffering of our Savior and our need for his grace. And everyone, regardless of age, needs this reminder. In this new family-friendly adaptation of his bestselling devotional, Journey to the Cross, Paul Tripp provides 40 reflections that make Lent more accessible for parents and children.
Over the 40 days of Lent, families can use these daily devotions together to deepen their understanding of, and need for, Jesus. Each reading features a Scripture passage, a devotional passage, discussion questions for a range of ages, and a closing prayer. As families read, discuss, and pray over these gospel truths, children will be encouraged to confess their sins, celebrate Christ’s redeeming grace, and apply what they’ve learned to their lives.
