Old Story New: Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God (Marty Machowski)

Old Story New

Ten-Minute Devotions to Draw Your Family to God

Filled with adventure, suspense, drama, and mystery, the gospel story easily captures the attention of children. Even better, the gospel story gives life. We are saved, and our children are saved as we review the story of the gospel. So why do so many parents with good intentions give up on family devotions? Why do so many decide that reading the Bible as a family must only be for “super parents?”

The truth is that there are no super parents. We all struggle, and we all need help to stay on course. Old Story New makes it easy for parents to share the gospel with their families. The second volume in Marty Machowski’s family devotional series, Old Story New continues the gospel story that started in his previous book, Long Story Short. Using the same effective ten-minute-a-day structure, it walks children through the great truths of the Christian faith in the New Testament.

Through 78 New Testament stories, Old Story New does the hard work for parents and teachers. Simple discussion questions (and answers!) for each day’s devotion help children understand and remember Jesus’ life, death, resurrection, and the birth of the Christian church. Old Story New is a family devotional program designed to explain God’s plan of salvation through the New Testament. It is suitable for children from preschool through high school.

“Marty Machowski has done it again! This book, along with the earlier Old Testament devotional book, Long Story Short, is another masterful devotional book for families. It is simple without being shallow. It is theologically robust without being pedantic. And comprehensive without being overwhelming. Best of all, it is doable for busy parents with children.”

“Marty Machowski ‘gets’ families. Even more importantly, he knows how to connect them to the Bible with simple, relate-able New Testament studies that make much of Jesus in every lesson. If you want your kids to see the Savior through his Word, spend some time in this exciting new devotional.”
