Roar Like A Lion by Levi Lusko with Tama Fortner Book Review

 

Kids are wrestling with tough issues these days - peer pressure, purpose, unexpected change or loss, and wondering where their faith fits in with it all. Roar Like a Lion encourages your kids to "run toward the roar" as they face their fears, knowing that God is with them every step of the way. 

Pastor and best-selling author Levi Lusko is known for making tough topics accessible while drawing his audiences toward a richer spiritual life. In his first children's devotional for ages six to 10, Levi tackles real issues our kids face with a lighthearted and approachable tone. Kids are equipped to approach both fun moments and tough times with their hearts set on God's faithfulness with the help of fascinating stories and facts, Bible verses, prayers, and simple action steps. 

This 90-day devotional covers highly relevant topics such as: 

·         Facing fears about school and friendships 

·         Having courage to try something new 

·         Handling new challenges, past disappointments, and grief 

·         Dealing with peer pressure and bullying 

·         Understanding how we each fit into God's great story 

 

As a parent and pastor, Levi is able to address real-life situations with compassion, grace, and biblical authenticity. Roar Like a Lion is a great way to spark discussion with your kids on meaningful topics and get them in the habit of reading a biblically-based devotional. 

Offering practical approaches to faith in everyday life, Roar Like a Lion will inspire your kids to nurture their personal faith in a God strong enough to protect and guide them as they run toward the roar during the challenges in their lives. 

 

My Thoughts:

Roar Like A Lion by Levi Lusko with Tama Fortner, illustrated by Catherine Pearson from Tommy Nelson is a children’s devotional for kids 6-10.

There is a total of 90 days to walk through scripture in all situations in life. Each day’s devotional has two pages. The devotion starts out with scripture. Followed by an inspirational devotional that has various topics. It ends with a heartfelt prayer. Off to the side is a challenge “Get Ready to Roar” or “Did You Know”? “Get Ready to Roar” could be something like creating your own space to get away with God or doing a fun experiment. “Did You Know”? This area has some fun facts about everything from people, places, inventions, and all kinds of interesting tidbits.

This is a colorful and eye-catching illustrated book that should be appealing for most kids.

It covers some heartfelt issues like having a good day at school or home. Maybe you have some fears going on at school, peer pressures, strife, sadness, grief, bullying. Maybe there is having the courage to do something that you have never done before. There is a lot of practical situations for this age group.  I love that it deals with faith in your daily life. It is very inspiring. The devotional is well written for the age group and will spark some great conversation with your kids.

Like all devotionals, they don’t replace Bible reading but are meant to spark conversation.
