Can't recommend this highly enough.
Highly recommend it to young and old alike. As a father-to-be, it definitely made MY heart sing. Great systematic theology of sorts for kids.
I picked this up because I enjoy the Jesus Storybook Bible so much. This book has the same beautiful artwork and I found myself reading with the narrator's voice from the audio book in my head! As you read a page or two each day you will have a beautiful Bible truth to think about. I read it alone but think my 7 year old would enjoy it too.2018 A book by an author who is still living.

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.Have you read The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name backward and forward but still desire more from the words of Sally Lloyd-Jones and creative illustrations of Jago then I highly recommend Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing . It's beautiful and every single devotion within is worthy to spend time pondering over. This one isn't just for kids. I'm not sure I want to share I like it so much. :) This review was originally posted on Creativ...
As Keller says in the forward, it's good to see an emphasis on the lived experience of Christianity so that children know and feel God's presence, not just know about God. Catechesis and other kinds of cerebral instruction are important, but so is our felt experience with God. The first devotional begins with the word dance.
We read this just about every night. One page/entry a night before bed. The kids loved it and frequently requested it if we forgot. In fact, they want to start over and read again. One could quibble with some theology or exegesis but that is silly in a book like this. It introduces children to the character and nature if God and scripture in an inspirational and devotional way. Add in wonderful illustrations and you have a keeper.
A devotional for children: what a brilliant idea. The great thing is that this collection of reflections and insights into Scripture doubles as a devotional for grown-ups. I will be giving this book away (along with the Jesus StoryBook Bible) often. I cherished literally every page of this book. The artwork is delightful, the thoughts deep, and the result is doxological rejoicing in Jesus. I'm so thankful for Sally Lloyd-Jones. Buy this book.
Though it's marketed for children, this beautiful book impressed my heart with more truth than most adult devotional books. Not only did it open my eyes to see Scripture and and God and the Christian life in new ways, it actually helped me believe these truths in my heart. Sally Lloyd-Jones has a gift for explaining deep truths in a simple way, a way that is both poetic and clear. And although Jago’s illustrations jarred me slightly with their unique, somewhat unrealistic tinge, the colors and t...
"There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice." --John CalvinThe above quote is this book in a nutshell. Such a treasure trove of biblical wisdom for ages 6-9. Tim Keller's introduction points out the value of this devotional for children. He says it "may be the best, first introduction for children to have their own time with Jesus." This book is definitely going on my great gifts list along with Sally's "The Jesus Storybook Bible."
Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing is a beautiful book inside and out. Sally Lloyd-Jones did a fantastic job writing short and sweet daily devotionals for children and pairing them with Scripture. Each devotional was thought-provoking and really set up my heart for the day. And the pictures! The full-page full-color illustrations throughout the book draw the eye and reinforce the devotionals in a gorgeous way.I checked this book out of my library and renewed it and renewed it and renewed it. I tur...
I’m really really excited about this book!From Jago and Sally Lloyd-Jones, the creators of the bestselling Jesus Storybook Bible, comes this gorgeous and innovative collection of 101 simple-yet- profound thoughts on faith. Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing shares profound spiritual truths from the Bible told in a conversational tone—drawing insights from creation, history, science, the writings of great thinkers and preachers and writers, and more—to turn the reader’s eyes toward the God who love...
Beautiful and true meditations on scripture and scriptural ideas that are short and appropriate to read together as a family, perhaps over a meal. Would also be good to give an 8-10 year old child who might enjoy a devotional book that is not a guilt-trip, but full of joyful reflections that will guide them towards prayer and worship.
This book is so amazing!!!! The illustrations are breathtaking and the devotionals really will make your heart sing!!! Share this book with your children & grandchildren, but be sure to keep a copy for yourself. This book will stir your heart and truly draw you closer to God. Do you desire to have the faith of a child? This is a great place to start! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I have now bought 6 copies of this book. It is wonderful. The art work is beautiful.It is suitable for anyone 2 to 102. It brings God to your everyday places.
Read this beautiful book with the girls at dinner. These are very short devotional readings versus the typical child’s storybook Bible, and a wonderful way to begin to teach personal worship. As with all of Lloyd-Jones’s works the writing is expertly crafted and the Gospel shines everywhere. Just as in The Jesus Storybook Bible, the beauty makes me tearful on nearly every page.
It may be for kids but there was so much glorious truth put so clearly, they really are thoughts to make your heart sing!
