Old Story New
As parents, we have the tremendous opportunity to share God's truth and the Gospel with our children! The subtitle for this devotional is Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God. These 78 weeks (a year and a half's worth!) of in-depth, yet straight forward devotionals require a minimum each day. Organized by week, you'll find units of 5 daily devotions: days 1-4 chronologically study the Bible. The books focus on key biblical elements that connect the whole message of the Gospel in a concise and manageable way. Day 5 diverges from this pattern to study related writings from the Psalms or prophets. Each weekly unit opens with an object lesson or themed questions. The simple items used for this lesson are listed at the beginning. Day one begins with Picture It, to help introduce the family to the week's theme. Each day, read the passage from your own Bible, and then Think about It (a brief read-aloud passage to help understand the passage), Talk about It (three group questions with brief answers) and Pray About It (unscripted suggestions for prayer). As you progress through the week, you will be asked to remember previous days' readings and also to apply them to your lives.
Old Story New covers the New Testament. About half of the devotions discuss the life and ministry of Jesus. The second half covers the church and living like Christ (Acts and epistles). Includes brief instructions for how to use the devotionals with preschool, grade school and older students.
I so appreciate the succinct treasure this is: theologically rich, yet comprehensible; simple, yet doctrinally sound. Another unique feature is that occasionally children are cued to ask the parents questions. The approach here is that we are all on a spiritual journey to becoming more like Christ (rather than "the parents know it all").Use these excellent devotions to start your homeschool day or study as a family in the evening.

Filled with adventure, suspense, drama, and mystery, the gospel story easily captures the attention of children. Even better, the gospel story gives life. We are saved and our children are saved as we review the story of the gospel. So why do so many well-intentioned parents give up on family Bible studydeciding that reading the Bible as a family must only be for super parents.
The truth is that there are no super parents. We all struggle, and we all need help to stay on course. Old Story New makes it easy for parents to stay on the life-giving course of sharing the gospel with their family. The second volume in Marty Machowskis family devotional series, Old Story New continues the gospel story that started in Long Story Short. Using the same effective ten-minute-a-day structure, it walks children through the great truths of the Christian faith in the New Testament.
Through 78 New Testament stories, Old Story New does the hard work for parents and caregivers. Simple discussion questions (and answers!) for each days devotion help children understand and remember Jesuss life, death, resurrection, and the birth of the Christian church. Old Story New is a gospel-centered family devotional program designed to explain Gods plan of salvation through the New Testament and is suitable for children from preschool through high school.
