What's Up: 30 encouragements to fuel your faith

This is a book of 30 short devotions suitable for 8-11s which I worked through with my twins.

They’re good! ‘What’s Up’ is an engaging book and well designed, with a variety of short bits to read: for example, you might get any combination of faith story, reflection, memory verse, some questions or a quiz to engage with, or an acrostic prayer to write.

My boys really engaged with ‘What’s Up’ and found it an interesting devotional resource to do at bedtime – some engagement, but not so much that it hyped us up at a time of day when we were trying to wind down! It does skip around the bible, so there’s not much sense of really getting into the text in a deeper way. Also some of the devotions border on being a bit moralistic/therapeutic – however, on the plus side, our kids get a lot of this input from school, so to have a resource which gives a biblical basis for how to live is really helpful.
