My Little Man is going to be SO EXCITED to read these "scientific devotions." It will give him the opportunity to combine several of his deep, long-time loves: God, science, and reading. I love the focus Giglio has put on these four areas, and that's also the only thing I think could be improved; in the book, these four areas are all mixed up. I would have liked to see all the space devotions in the same part of the book, for instance. Each lesson begins with a scripture verse. Giglio seems to primarily use the International Children's Bible (ICB). There are also lessons from the New International Version (NIV). I'm not happy with the use of the ICB. I truly don't believe that a child needs a simplified version. It is our responsibility as parents to teach our children about God. it can lead to wonderful places when you discuss the meaning of words and concepts that you encounter in the Bible that a child doesn't understand. A conversation about what Bible version is appropriate is hugely controversial, of this I am aware. This is a review, so I'm sharing my thoughts. My children and I have chosen to look up the scripture in our personal bibles, which happen to be the English Standard Version (ESV). The kids rotate who looks up the scripture of the day. This practice helps them to locate passages in their Bible and gives them an opportunity to read God's word out loud. The introduction points out that four major topics are covered in this book: space, the Earth, animals, and people.One of the things I love about this book is the way that Giglio points out the awesome creativity and attention to detail in our Creator - and the devotions are written in such a way that you'll be admiring these as you go throughout your day. After reading the science facts, you'll find yourself appreciating Creation all the more. The use of photo’s, numbers, quotes from astronomers, and scripture is outstanding. This is a very well balanced approach to examining God through His creation. My boys and I loved the 1st one of these, and they liked this one ok (one son more than the other), but this one kinda grated on me. It seemed far more preachy than the first. “Well it is a devotional” I hear you saying. True, but let me explain. The first one seemed to have neat little science lessons and tied them together with a simple little message about the glory of God. No doctrine, no questionable or controversial topics. This one had a few lessons that seemed a bit more personal, less universal. The 3rd lesson requires a literal reading of the Bible. There was #74 in particular about Satan hunting you (“That’s because a predator is hunting you, and his name is Satan.”) that I just don’t believe in and changed when reading. There were also several about proselytizing which I don’t agree with. a b "Louie Giglio Q&A: Millennials May Be Leaving the Church But They're Walking Toward Christ (Part 1)" . Retrieved 2018-03-23.

I would totally recommend this devotional for families, homeschoolers, Christian schools and more. Would make a great gift for your favorite elementary age child.

But it is not only a book that can be used in a family setting. Kids themselves will wonder at the awesome God that created our world as they read through these 100 devotions on their own. An opportunity to establish a habit of daily time with God.

Last but not least... my kid's favorite part, Be Amazed. Here you will find fascinating science facts, calls to action, etc. Fun information.As a reviewer for FrontGate Media, I received a review copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. My thanks to FrontGate Media, the author, and publisher. Indescribable: 100 Devotions About God & Science. Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson. ISBN 9780718086107. OCLC 979564065. There also were repetitive lessons about how God made the stars, how there are so many stars, how vast the universe is, how different the universe is, how God hung the stars and also made you (# 10, 12, 19, 21, 28, and more). This is only a portion of my review. I will be adding (or have added) many links to my review of Indescribable on my blog for supplemental study. You can find them here.

Which leads to the next problem that the 1st book didn’t seem to have: this one didn’t seem to know which age range it was going for. There were some lessons that seemed advanced (#6 about the laminin in your body that holds your cells together), and then some that were far more simplistic (#100 about the metamorphosis of the caterpillar or tadpole). However, I will say Giglio does a great job of explaining the science aspect well enough that an 8 and a 5 year old were able to understand it quite well.INDESCRIBABLE: 100 DEVOTIONS ABOUT GOD & SCIENCE is seriously the coolest devotional I've seen yet for kids. I am a parent and I love it. a b "Louie Giglio: The Heart Behind the Passion". CBN.com - The Christian Broadcasting Network. 28 September 2009 . Retrieved 2018-03-23. This book is perfect for all those little minds full of curious thoughts about STEM-themed topics. What I love most about this book is how it's bursting with scientific findings, photography and original illustrations about all sorts of topics related to science. What a grand opportunity to lead your child to discover the indescribable wonders of the universe made by our wonderful Creator. And this new devotional book for kids will enable families together to embark on this wonderful journey of discovery.
