Gather the family and spend some time with your best friend—the Bible! From best-selling author Sheila Walsh, the Bible Is My Best Friend Family Devotional connects families both to God's Word and to each other. Fifty-two key scriptures form the basis for the devotions, which build on the verses, challenge the family to commit them to memory, and explore how each verse is part of God's wonderful message. "Let's Talk" questions urge the family to discuss what they've learned and offer challenges for different ages of children as well as their parents. This unique family devotional touches both the mind and the heart. Minds will grow as the text builds on past weeks by reviewing memory work and themes. But most importantly, hearts will grow as families learn together to value the gifts found in the Bible and realize how God's Word can be their greatest friend.

What people are saying about this book: Rebecca Hurst (5 out of 5) - U.K. Brilliantly funny! A wonderful debut, sharp and witty with a distinctly fresh writing style and new approach to the genre. This novella, 'I didn't mean to kill my best friend' is an intelligent investigation of the relationship of two friends, and uses the murder of their mutual friend to explore how little things about your friendship can lead to the stickiest of ends! What I loved most about this book was the visual elements, and I could very well imagine it as a manga, illustrated novel and film. ------------ Defaye (5 out of 5) - U.K. Exciting, Funny, Thrilling. A really entertaining short story. Read it in one session and was glued to it. If you like a bit of a thrill, the plot is bang on. The story revolves around two friends trying to ditch their murdered, mutual friend. Coupled along the way with satirical humour and moments of suspense. Can already imagine a film adaptation. ------------ Sheila Deeth (4 out of 5) - U.S. Grim, humorous, odd and a fun short tale. Two Steves make the beginning of this short story a little confusing, but the confusion's part of the tale so it has to be excused. The characters aren't particularly pleasing, but their dilemma evokes memories of comedy movies and there's an enjoyable inevitability to their inept efforts to both salve their consciences and get rid of the best friend / worst enemy's body. While the conclusion is bounded by odd coincidence it has a certain logic of its own, preset by the story's direction. And there are some cleverly amusing discussions on the nature of life, death and relationships. The author has a nice touch with dialog and a casual off-beat humor. And the first person narration, mixing present tense thoughts with action in past tense, works surprisingly well. Short, definitely not sweet, but entertaining in a grimly satirical way.
Being overwhelmed by life's challenges and responsibilities can cause many to lose hope, give in, or settle for less than what God the Father intended for his creation. Can we accomplish all that we have been created and destined to do in life? Can each of us reach our full potential without losing our minds or killing others along the way? My Best Friend's Name Is Grace is a personal synopsis of how the author managed to accomplish all that she has in life, in spite of her beginnings and the assignment she has been given. While truthful in scope and content, the book is written from an allegorical viewpoint, as it personifies and identifies God's Grace as being the essential ingredient for success and victory in life. Compact and simply written, the book is compelling and profound in its revelation of the person, presence, purpose, and power of Grace in the lives of ordinary individuals.
