Long Story Short: Ten-Minute Devotions

Long Story Short: Ten-Minute Devotions

Families are busy, and home school families are among the busiest. The responsibilities of keeping up with the local public school and homeschool groups weigh heavy on us. If we fail to match (if not exceed) others academically, we suspect that they know and suffer for it. But who asks about the spiritual health of our children? This seemingly optional subject is the one for which God will indeed hold us accountable.

Teaching the Bible can seem overwhelming. Especially when you understand the importance of teaching our children how every story in the Old Testament points forward to God's story of salvation through Jesus Christ. But Long Story Short makes it easy. It chronologically teaches seventy-eight of the main stories of the Old Testament in a way that is memorable, faithful, and practical for Christian living.

Ten minutes a day, five days a week, Long Story Short is the family devotional program designed to explain God's plan of salvation through the Old Testament. 

Three days are spent on that week's story. One day is spent seeing how this story points to Jesus. On the fifth day, another Bible passage is read to see what it teaches about Jesus. 

Long Story Short is doctrinally sound, Christ-centered and full of gospel grace and hope. Simple enough to transform the hearts of every listener, Long Story Short confronts us with our desperate need for His grace. This gospel-saturated, God-centered devotional is suitable for children from preschool through high school.
