How Should a Christian Live?

How Should a Christian Live is a devotional that is geared towards the pre-teen to young teenager. There is an audio CD that starts with 1st Corinthians and goes through Philemon. Each track on the CD is a different section of the Bible and they are read by teen actors.

There are twelve lessons in all and each lesson is broken up into five areas, Get It, Grab It, Hold It, Live it, and Give it. There are games interspersed throughout the lesson that helps with retaining what you are learning and with the verses that you are studying. One of the things I liked most about this devotional is the blank pages that are left at the end of each lesson for the student to journal their thoughts. This gives an opportunity for the student to write down the things they are learning and helps as a way to retain that information as they can come back to it at a later date.
The length of the lessons and the audio tracks isn’t long and therefore will fit in with the student’s schedule. A great resource is the Define it sections that define the words that can sometimes be difficult to understand.

Overall this is a good devotional and is easy to understand and work your way through. The look of the pages and the overall flow of the book is smooth. I will definitely recommend this to those I know who will benefit from the teachings it has to offer.
