The Answer Book: A Devotional for Busy Families recognizes that today's families keep hectic schedules, often leaving mere scraps of time for asking and answering spiritual questions. Nancy Ruth brings years of experience in children's ministry and a master's degree in theology to bear in crafting a seven-week set of daily devotions that offers families assistance in exploring how to live as Christians. Adults, who sometimes find children challenging them with hard questions about the Christian life, will find The Answer Book enables them to ask those questions as a family, to listen to God's word, and to discover its answers. Each weekly section addresses a major topic, including truth, the reasons for spending time with God, the identity of Jesus, and family discipleship. Each daily devotion shares a brief reflection, suggests a Bible reading, presents an "On the Road" challenge to the family, and calls for a "Weapon Check," in which one memorizes key scriptural passages. As you spend time around your children, you may wonder what drives them to ask endlessly, "Why?". The Answer Book: A Devotional for Busy Families gives you a structured-yet flexible-way to turn small blocks of time into moments for taking seriously their deep and heartfelt questions. By spending some time together as a family with these questions and with the message God reveals in the Scriptures, you will grow together to trust God more fully, to build your lives on a strong foundation, and to be prepared for life's coming challenges.
