I think this book has been beautifully put together for young people. I love that it encourages them to write down prayer points, to explore the bible and answer questions, and to memorise verses. I Like that it gets young people to think and that it has been designed in a contemporary manner. I am a huge fan of the section with sermon notes and know friend's children who would also love that addition to the book too. Overall a wonderful resource.

Excellent resource to help kids develop the habit of independent devotion time.

It is a 7-days a week study. A journey from Genesis to Revelation in one year. I would recommend this for independent readers, but could be done as a family for younger readers.

Exploring the Bible A Bible Reading Plan for Kids by David Murray is a wonderful resource for families to use to engage their children in studying the Bible. This book is an interactive guide for children to explore the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, in one year. The overall focus is to discover key points throughout scripture that show how the books of the Bible are connected and tell the story of a loving and gracious God.

The devotional starts with an expedition. Each week is a map of where we are headed and chapters we are ready to explore. You will need a bible, as each day you will be required to look up scripture and with each scripture a question to challenge your heart and to direct you to God's redemptive plan. Along with scripture, you will have prayer points. The need of prayer is important with any study and to do this as family is the beginning of discipleship. Snapshots are memory verses to learn and to bring the point to your heart even more. A daily log follows that which encourages you to write what you learn and to apply. It also encourages every Sunday to journal Sunday's message at your church and to explore with others as family to share what has been learned and the insight each family member might have.

I give this devotional 4/5 stars. 

I received this ARC from Crossway via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

I must say that i had a different impression from the title. I thought this would be a guide on the actual Bible. Not a short journey though the, all so we’ll known, stories. I love the questions and the every day guid.

A really fantastic engaging book for children, this is a really unique stand out book!

What a wonderful resource for families to use to engage their children in studying the Bible.

Each week the reader sets out on an expedition, and this book serves as their leader, map, and compass to the Bible. Prayer points are critical to develop a healthy prayer life in the young reader. The snapshot section provides a memory verse that summarizes each week's expedition. The daily log is intended to sum up each day and to add important notes, questions, and references. Sunday is a rest day to pause and reflect, but readers are also encouraged to engage in the sermon by writing down key points and thinking about how they will respond to the message.

This book would best be utilized during a family scripture study time that allows parents and their children to engage in the material and discuss it together.

I would recommend this book to all Christians, especially parents that want their children to gain a deeper understanding of the scripture. I received this as a free ARC from Crossway on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

A real adventure of biblical proportions. To go out on a adventure, you require a map to get where you are going. Not only do you require a map, but the tools to get you there. That is this devotion. I would greatly encourage parents to do this with your children. Not just mom but with dad as well. A adventure for the whole family.

A devotional that tells us about God and who we are and that requires inquiring minds to dig deeper into the truths of the gospel. Of course exploring the bible, you must start at the beginning. The beginning tells us how things were and how we ended up in need of a savior.

This devotion literally goes thru the whole bible. Pivotal points of redemption with a gospel message. It is an opportunity to live out in community with your own family. I highly recommend it.

A Special Thank You to Crossway Books and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

Though my version was for my Kindle Paperwhite, I was able to see well enough what this book will look and function like! I plan to utilize it for my little one when he gets a little older. It's accessible, asks fantastic questions, and encourages daily reading and reflection (which is extremely valuable!). Tying the biblical narrative together is vital, especially in resources like this, so I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone wanting a study to do alongside their child, or to spur them on to do solo!

As soon as this book comes out, I am buying them for the kiddos in our church. What a great resource to bring the Bible alive in their worlds. I have been working for years with my kids the importance of taking notes during the sermon. It makes the time go faster when you are engaged as well as giving the Holy Spirit access to bring truth alive within you when paying attention...well, this book is such a great resource to make this happen with kids. I just think it is a wonderful resource.

This book is for families primarily although churches might find it to be beneficial as well. Essentially it guides children through the Bible--Genesis to Revelation--in one year. The goal isn't for the child to read each and every verse of the Bible. The focus is on comprehending the big picture of the Bible, on seeing how all the books connect together to tell one story--the story of a God who loves and redeems us.

Each week the reader is invited to go on an expedition. There is something for the child to do each and every day of the week. A few goals are weekly, but many are daily. For example, there is only one place during the week to write down prayer requests and the memory verse, but, there are suggested/required readings for each day of the week. Sunday is a special day. Children are encouraged to write down what they learned from that day's sermon, and what scripture the preacher taught from, etc.

There are twenty-four expeditions in the Old Testament. They are arranged in the order they appear in most Bibles. They are not arranged chronologically. The rest of the expeditions are in the New Testament. Most expeditions come from Matthew through Acts. The last seven focus on the New Testament letters.

The book is definitely structured. This is a book that is designed to be written in and OWNED. For that reason, I'm not sure why it's available as an e-book, but it is. I'd encourage parents to buy the physical book. And I think this book would best be used by families together. Parents and children both engaging in a journey through the Bible.
