Best News Ever

Champ Thornton

Wow—if you’re looking for a fresh devotional on the Gospel of Mark which packages the best scholarship into 100 bite-sized portions that your preteens will love to read, then look no further. Best News Ever by Chris Morphew is the best study of Mark for this age-group that I’ve ever seen. Older children (and their parents!) will find each 2-page devotional engaging (Chris is a brilliant storyteller), enlightening (he’s a master teacher), and incredibly encouraging (again and again he shines the spotlight on our Savior)! I hope you’ll get copies for the 9-to-12-year-olds in your life—and then read it with them!

Best News Ever makes a way for my ten-year-old to independently spend 100 days reading, learning, and praying through the Gospel of Mark. Morphew warmly invites pre-teen readers to engage with the Biblical text first and then acts as a friendly tutor, guiding them through context, comprehension, application, and prayer. As a mother of five, I’m grateful to find a hands-on tool to assist growing disciples as they learn to walk confidently and responsibly through Scripture

“More like this please!”

I purchased this for my sister, who was beginning family devotions with her 3 boys ages 9-12. She said they all loved it and after they finished it, they tried some others, but this has been their favorite in content and format. Please publish some more like this and especially for the ordinary non-holiday times of the year.

“Excellent!”

I have found this so helpful to read with my 12 year old, I have gained so much from it too. It's deeply theologically written but a perfect length each night. I can't recommend it enough.

“excellent”

a book not just for youngsters. simple, a joy to read.
