I had such fun with the Midwinter's Eve Giveaway Hop that I decided to participate in another one! Last time I gave away an autographed copy of Family Home Evening Adventures--and I won a copy of Finding Rose (which I will be reviewing next week!).

Interactive scripture reading makes family study fun for the whole family. Help your children learn and understand gospel principles directly from the scriptures with a year's worth of scripture study themes, such as:

Scripture of the Day: 2 Nephi 31:20
We do find it hard to always fit it in our schedule. We are a busy family but we do our best

We have a hard time fitting it in, but really want to make it daily fireandicedotheatheratgamildotcom
ReplyDeleteI am now an empty nester but when my boys were home we used to act out the stories in the scriptures. My boys loved recreating Noah's ark...they love being animals for that FHE night..
ReplyDeleteWe have struggled in the past to have family scripture study time. I'm determined to try again and find a time that works. Since our kids are still young enough that they are not extremely busy with extracurricular stuff, we just started to try our scripture reading right after dinner while everyone is still at the table. So far so good -- I'm hoping it will stick! All of our kids are readers now (youngest is 6) so everyone can take turns reading. We also decided to add a little motivation and told the kids that if we can read for 200 days then we will have a fun family activity, like a weekend vacation somewhere fun or something like that.

We homeschool and use Sonlight as our curriculum so we get scripture daily. I love Sonlight for that reason!

Scripture study is definitely something we struggle to fit in to our crazy life as a family of 7. I would love t read your book to get some tips!

Family scripture study - whats that? ;) We have a 4 and a 3 year old, so yes, holding the attention long enough for scripture study is difficult. They are adopted and enjoy talking about when they went to the temple and feel pretty special because of it. It will be nice to find a way to incorporate scripture study into the daily activities with our children and have them be excited about it. Thanks for the opportunity, if I don't win, I will still be getting your book!

I find it difficult to get kids of different ages all excited about the bible together, its like we have to divide into groups and talk at different levels, it would be exciting to get the family excited together!

Usually someones eyes glass over then they start calling each other names. It makes a very inspiritual time for everyone. But, there is leas contention when we have it!

Its hard for my family to get together because I work first shift and my husband works second shift. We only get to see each other on weekends as a family. We spend Saturday nights as family nights and Sunday morning at church, Sunday eve studying the bible together.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are all 7 years old and younger so we definitely find it challenging to keep their attention when we want to read the scriptures. We usually do something brief at bedtime and that has become a good time for us to fit it in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway! nicolebang@gmail.com
My children are now grown, but I remember it was difficult to fit in. This book looks like it really help my grandchildren.

We haven't yet incorporated family scripture study time . . . not sure how to start. Would love this book! diane@pinkpoodlefrench.com
ReplyDeleteWe are retired now, but when the children were at home we would study together at times. We never did have a set time.

It seems like we are always forgetting to read our scriptures together as a family, but we are still trying our hardest to make it a part of each day. Thanks for the great giveaway!
ReplyDeletefiguringoutthesmallstuff(at)gmail(dot)com
lately we've been trying to set a specific time, like 8 PM. That way there's a expectation. It doesn't happen every night but most nights it does.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I'm now following your blog and would love to be included in this giveaway. I don't have kids of my own but have taught in Christian schools for years. I love to share great books with families to show them different options to help their families come together around the Word.
ReplyDeleteLove your site! (I blog at http://reneeannsmith.com/ and would love for you to visit some time.) Blessings!

We read a few verses each day and I'm finding that my kids are wanting to read more. It's starting to pay off. :)

Our family does what it can for the kids to understand. We have small children in the family and sometimes they just don't understand.

A little at a time works best! They like to picture what's being said.

My children attended Catholic school for 5 years. After that they attend church weekly and also learn by going to CCD.

I have read to my family at the dinner table while they eat. Their mouths are full so they really listen:)

Right before bed works the best for us. Thanks Rebecca! chaychel at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteI do find it hard to fit in...I need to make it a priority...and "just do it"!
ReplyDeletelgm52@hotmail.com
We have scripture reading every night. Well, almost every night. Right now our struggle is the different age levels. Our 16 year old is not at the same understanding level as our 8 year old. If one isn't glossed over, it's the other!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win.

We've got little kids (ages 2-6), so the biggest problem is keeping them still. However, the nice thing about having little kids is that we are home more and it is pretty easy to have regular study at night before bed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I'm always looking for great FHE helps.

I must admit we are horrible at studying the scriptures together. We do try to incorporate little life lessons in most days, but we don't study the word like we should. This looks like a great book to help us make it interesting for us and the kids.

I would love to win this, my family and I have been looking for a way to start doing scripture study alone. Usually we work out of a small devotional book.
ReplyDeleteTruthbetold004 at gmail dot com
We tried early morning (everybody slept), we've tried nights (most of the time, it was me and the babies), and the one thing we settled on, was just before the majority of the kids leave for school. Everyone is up and dressed, chores done, breakfast down, and it is our quiet time together to really get the day going right. But, this means, my teenagers (who have early morning seminary) miss out because they leave the house at 5:40am. But, with 8 kids, that is what works for us.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that I mix it up sometimes and sometimes we memorize scripture mastery scriptures or an article from Conference and I have the Book of Mormon for families which helps. johnsonteammom@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that this book would really bless our family if we won it. If we don't win it, then I should see about buying it.
ReplyDeleteWe really struggle with a time issue. Hubby and I both work full time. Would love to read this and hopefully get ideas on how to structure our time to better fit it in.

Time is definitely an issue, though we try to work it into evenings before bed.
