What are some books or other devotional material for kids from 1st grade all the way to high school? Something that can be a fun 15-20 mins. I have a few ideas, but any of y'all have some suggestions.

I already have Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul down...

Let your kids choose their own religion.

but if you feel like indoctrinating the rugrats before they're old enough to know better and object, I'd suggest contacting a church you like and getting suggestions from them.

This isn't for my own kids. I'm working at a church camp this summer.

I should've known that right off the bat someone would bring up don't force them blah blah blah.

Anyway, as a counselor at a summer church camp we have time before the cabin goes to sleep to have a devotional time with the kids. I'm looking for stories to tell that can teach a lesson about how your faith can grow every day.

Just looking to see if anyone else has been in this situation and has recomendations.

Well in that case, let your other people's kids choose their own religion.

Choose books that are inspirational without being religious. There is such a thing.

5/20/2007 12:22:29 PM

Tell them about how life can be random and the only way to succeed is to work hard on their own, not depending on an invisible fairy to rescue them.

This thread should probably be moved to chit chat.

5/20/2007 3:23:14 PM

Sucks to be a kid at such a lame fucking camp.

5/20/2007 6:26:56 PM

^^no, people should mind their manners in the lounge and reply only when they can add something helpful to the conversation

Just like Mister Rogers.

5/20/2007 6:46:19 PM

my precious moments bible has some awesome half page stories in it

5/20/2007 6:47:51 PM

The KJV has some really awesome stories, too.

Don't water down one of the world's best books. Read it to them.

Yes, I'm serious. The KJV teaches about God, but it also teaches about the beauty of our language.

Thou shalt not do the above formentioned, it whilst bore the children.

5/20/2007 8:50:32 PM

chick tracts! they are even written like a comic which is perfect for indoctrinating children!

5/20/2007 8:50:33 PM

^ I love how they hand those out at NASCAR races.

5/20/2007 8:52:46 PM

I love how the heathen's speech bubble capitalizes "He," even though she's a non-believer.

I'd also like to point out that this little comic specifically recommends the KJV.

5/20/2007 11:28:28 PM

THE KJV IS EVEN HALPERN ENDORSED

5/20/2007 11:29:47 PM

5/20/2007 11:38:21 PM

^^ I was waiting for that. You and Jonny are slacking.

Sara, too...though I guess none of you really have a reason to check this.

5/20/2007 11:57:10 PM

go to a family christian store/lifeway christian store and take a look at their books to get ideas and what not. or you can just pick up some activity books there. like someone mentioned, veggietales is good.

1. I love Bobby for posting that

2. Why the fuck does Grandpa have an eyepatch? That is the most random shit ever.

3. If you read it back out loud with little girl voices, it's 10x funnier.

4. The best pane is the "Who's Jesus?" pane.

remember parents, telling your kid there's a tooth fairy will send him/her into a downward homicidal spiral

sho nuff

or, at least, into one of these devilish fools.



i especially like the one i can only assume is the "ugly bucktoothed atheist anti-school prayer lesbian." you know the one.

5/21/2007 1:28:33 AM

hahahhaha they have one for catholics, too. What's that drunk doing??

5/21/2007 1:33:53 AM

How are you supposed to teach and guide kids if you aren't even competent enough to make simple decisions without asking TWW?

5/21/2007 7:27:25 AM

5/21/2007 8:41:29 AM

damn, someone must have alerted Jack Chick to this thread.

The images are no longer showing up.

5/21/2007 8:57:13 AM

Thanks for help y'all...My biggest problem was finding things for little kids, for teens it was easy cause I have a lot of books that were given to me when I got confirmed and when I graduated high school.

I ended up getting a kids devotional bible, and a cute little book called "God's little Intruction Book for Kids"



Oh and thanks to everyone who actually kept this a Lounge thread and some people just didn't even have the self control to keep chit chat shit out of here.

[Edited on May 21, 2007 at 9:16 AM. Reason : ]

5/21/2007 9:15:01 AM

Yeah, it looks like Chick just changed a global path variable. I can
play that game with a simple text editor.

anyhow, this is the one i think would be great for late nights around the campfire.

or maybe in dark creaky cabins deep in the woods



























And Here's the one BobbyDigital posted

goddamn that Jack Chick.

he changed his path name again.

5/21/2007 3:17:25 PM

It's ok, I adblocked everything from chick.com anyway.

"Everybody Poops"
"Nobody Poops But You"
Oh, you're Catholic? Then how about...
"You're a naughty child and that's concentrated evil coming out the back of you!"

5/21/2007 3:19:11 PM

why would you adblock Jack Chick?

are you afraid of the truth?



anyhow, lets see how long this lasts:
