If you started out using a Bible storybook for family devotions/Bible time, when did you switch to using a Bible instead? My kids are 2, 4, 6, and 9 and we’ve been using Egermeier’s storybook for a couple of years. I’m debating about whether or not to start reading from the Bible instead for next year.
That is the beauty of it, you can watch for what works for you. we used a children’s NLT story bible 1 year devotional, sometimes a character story reading that tied in a scripture example, or reading from our regular bibles mixed in somedays until my children were 11, 9, 3, & babe. My little ones get bible stories read to them at night or by an older sibling still. Our devotions have become reading scriptures and an adjoining devotional example story now. The littles are just about 5&3 now, and they are learning to listen. It surprises me how the almost 5er really catches on and can add to the conversation. We also like taking the scripture we are memorizing from the scripture box cards and thinking or times in our lives that scripture could be connected to or future circumstances it would be good to remember it in. Good way to help using just bible reading for devotional times.
I think every family is different so do what works for you! We actually use just the scriptures themselves for family scripture reading. But then we read from a scripture story book daily with younger kids too, when the big kids are doing their own independent scripture reading. So they get both. (My kids are 14, 10 ,9 ,7 ,6, 4, 3, 1, and baby on the way).
