Dive Deep: 40 Days with God at Sea

How does parrotfish poop make sand? And what does that have to do with God's promise to Abraham? 

Introduce children ages 9-12 to the epic story of salvation history—from Creation, to Christ, to today—through Bible stories that take place at sea, and help them experience the Word of God in a whole new way! This one-of-a-kind devotional by Sister Orianne Pietra René Dyck, a Daughter of St. Paul, teaches children how to pray with God’s word and encounter God in his creation through 40 days of Scripture reflections, fun sea facts and trivia, profiles of the saints, prayer and journaling prompts, and practical ways to live the faith in daily life. Dive Deep gives children two different reflections for each Bible story, so they learn how God can speak in many ways through his word. Fun sea facts and trivia shed additional light on the meaning of scripture and celebrate the harmony between faith and science. On the last day of their journey, children can write their own reflection—and begin a new voyage that will last a lifetime!
