Book review — Devotional Dippers

These three round, attractive packages each contain 40 strips of card which aim to provide interactive Bible devotions for the family from age three upwards. They come in three sets: God, Key Bible words and Prayer.

When I first looked at them, to be honest, my heart sank! My first impression was that this was the old-fashioned ‘promise box’ approach of yesteryear. However, when I opened the first tube, I was pleasantly surprised. Inside each tube are 40 cardboard strips. On each strip is a topic, a Bible verse and a Bible passage to read. On the reverse is a Think section which poses a question to discuss and also a Pray section which has a suggestion for a prayer topic.

I can see how these are helpful aids to family devotions – they are starters, rather than giving you a whole text. They leave scope for family interaction at various age levels.

The theme of each box moves away from this being a random promise box approach.

They are ideal for a family, but the Prayer set could also be a useful addition to a Sunday School session.
