Synopsis:
Help your young children learn to live for God! 
Stop-and-Go Devotional provides short, active devotions based on Bible stories, designed for busy families with preschoolers and primary-grade children. Written by bestselling author Diane Stortz, this to-the-point, interactive devotional gives bite-size teachings on how to follow God.  
Each short devotion consists of an action-filled Bible story (Stop and Read), an age-appropriate devotional thought with questions and a brief prayer (Think and Talk), and an easy and fun follow-up activity, a thought to remember, and a supporting Bible verse (Green Means Go!). 
This book provides a way to have intentional quality time with your kids; it's fun, educational, and meaningful for your family's faith journey together.
My Rating:
Looking for a fun, inspirational and quick family devotional? This is it! This family devotional is meant to be done on a weekly basis. It goes through 52 "key" stories in the Bible from the Old and New Testaments by using the game "Red Light, Green Light." The use of turning the game into something interactive with biblical elements will get children active in learning the Bible and build a bond within the family and relationship with God.

Doing one devotional a week makes it easy to "set" a day for the family and help everyone get focused on God. I love how the devotional makes use of the colors red, yellow and green. I love how the "break down" the scriptures for children to enjoy.

Red light is "stop and read". This is where the summarize the focal scripture. Yellow light is "think and talk" in which they give you something to think about and questions to discuss. They end it with a prayer. Green light is "green means go" which gives you a verse to remember with something about God and also a fun way to end the devotional in a song or fun activity.

Doing this with my son is super fun and it gets him into wanting to learn more about the Word. Totally recommend this!

Blessings,
