I have three children (all 8), and all Catholic, and currently in a Catholic school. We currently read every night from a devotional book (Christian, but not Catholic) that tells stories about how to act, be good to each other, worship God, etc., but they aren’t Catholic based. Each story has a reference to a Bible passage, which we then read from a NAB bible. Then we read from a semi-children’s Bible called the Catholic Children’s Bible. We have been doing this every night for 3 or 4 years.
We’ve outgrown these books since we’ve read them so many times, and the devotional book is really not Catholic and involves some more protestant type stories I’d rather not read to my kids anymore.
I’m searching for some good (Catholic) devotional books that we (wife and I) can read to our kids each night and maybe focus on some bible passages and find a daily prayer book we can all do as a family. I’ve been looking at many of the Catholic online stores (EWTN, Catholic Answers Shop, Dynamic Catholic, Lighthouse Media and the Catholic Company), but it’s hard to discern which books would be good for family story and prayer time each night, so I’m hoping someone else out there can maybe recommend some books that would good for this sort of thing. FYI, my children, although 8, read and understand at a much higher level (maybe 5th grade) since we/they have been reading since very early on in life, and they read all the time, so I want to find some books that may be just out of their reach of understanding, and not too easy or geared towards their age, since having slightly more difficult concepts will help them grow and we will help them understand concepts they might not get as we read.
Thanks.
