Nature reveals majestic truths about God—truths that help us know him better. God's Mighty Acts in Creation helps children recognize those wonders, and what they tell us about their Creator.

As Starr Meade, author of Mighty Acts of God, guides young readers through the six days of creation, she points to how creation displays the wisdom and power of God. She also helps readers explore and apply other references to nature in the Bible by answering questions such as: What did Jesus mean when he claimed to be the true vine? How is all flesh like grass, and how should that affect the way we live? What was God revealing about himself when he made the sun stand still for Joshua? Each reading includes a key verse, stimulating questions, and engaging activities, all geared toward elementary-aged children.

Whether parents use this book for family devotions or children read it for themselves, all will learn how God's glory, wisdom, sovereignty, and power are revealed in all of creation. This is a companion volume to God's Mighty Acts in Salvation.

Guides children ages 8–12 through Scripture's account of creation, teaching them how God reveals himself through the things he has made. Great for use in family devotions or for children to read on their own.

The Good Book Stall

Let me start by saying I love the green print, I’ve always had a soft spot for different coloured print in books since reading The Never-ending Story many many years ago, so to see the green print used in this great little devotional was wonderful, it really sets it apart.  
Ok now onto the review proper! This is a daily devotional style book based around the whole idea of creation – the six days it took to create the earth, as in God’s creation, so think stars and moon, nature and animals and you’re on the right lines. It is designed for younger children in terms of stylistic prose, though possibly to be used alone for an older child, but otherwise to be used by a parent reading to a child.   
However can I just say that though the devotions are simple on one hand they are still very good and even quite complex in that they deal with issues like omniscience and general revelation and so I would quite enjoy using this myself as a bit of a break from more in-depth works. I also think this book would actually be a wonderful work for those with learning disabilities as it doesn’t shout ‘kid’ at all.  
There are 45 studies in and each one starts with a scripture verse, then has the devotional component and ends with a ‘Me and My House’ section which include questions, activities or further reading.  
A really good book, and not just for the kids either.  
  
Deals on 10 or 20 copies available from IVP.
