Homegrown - Bible Study Book: Cultivating Kids in the Fruit of the Spirit

Looks like a great study, somehow I missed that this is a Bible study for parents either on your own or in a group setting. This is not designed to be done with your kids, which is what I had bought it for.

During the pandemic getting to bible study has been difficult, particularly for the kids. I bought this book for my family to try and fill this void.The book is a great book and gives you much to think about with the kids. It is structured more for the parents to do the study and activities with the family. With a little read ahead it is easy to adapt this to be a meaningful activity during these hard times.Parent of 4 ages 8 through 13.

I have been doing alot of Bible Studies the last few years both alone and in group settings. I bought this one for myself and my husband to both read. I found it so helpful not just for instilling the fruits of the Spirit in my children but more importantly in myself as I set the example for my children. My kids are young now and I can see myself reading this study again as they grow. As a Mom to young kids I also really appreciated that I could spend 20 minutes each morning and get through it. I highly recommend it!

I did this Bible study with a small group of mothers and it was just what I needed to continue gospel conversations on this topic with my 7, 5 and 2 year old! I love the practical stories, questions and activities that you can apply throughout the day in conversation with your kids. I wish they had a separate resource to readily access the application pieces of the study though. Maybe some perforated pages in the back of the book? Or even little cards you could buy separately? As it is, I typed them up on my computer and printed them on business cards, which I keep in a jar. We pull out one and read it whenever we have dinner as a family.I am taking away one star because I ended up purchasing the ebook (shipping was EXPENSIVE for the paperback!) and it has been a terrible experience. The Lifeway app frequently quits and it has to download the ebook every time it reopens. I've tried reinstalling the app but it doesn't make a difference. I also bought it with the intention of being able to print the pages out at home, just because I prefer pen and paper to typing. But that is not an option. Super bummed to have bought the ebook over the paperbook. It's just not very user friendly.
