About the Book


Book: 
Dishing Up Devotions

Author: Katie J. Trent

Genre: RELIGION / Christian Living/Devotional/EDUCATION/ Home Schooling

Release date: October 26, 2021

Homeschooling is a challenging journey that’s often misunderstood. The thirty-six weeks that parents have to educate their homeschooled children don’t just come together magically. There are lessons to plan and oversee, records to keep, routines to follow, and kids to motivate. It can feel overwhelming as the teaching parent—usually Mom—tries to tackle both the educational and spiritual aspects of the children’s lives while also keeping up with household tasks such as cooking and laundry.

Dishing Up Devotions: 36 Activities for Homeschooling Families infuses faith and fun to strengthen family relationships while nourishing the teaching parent’s soul.
It features thirty-six weekly devotions, faith-building activities for the whole family, and baking recipes connected to the weekly character theme.
Author Katie Trent’s goal is to take the stress out of homeschooling with a devotional that the whole family will love through:

  • Encouragement from other homeschooling parents
  • Biblical lessons even toddlers can understand
  • Interactive family activities
  • Delicious baking recipes related to the weekly theme

Homeschooling just got easier—and deliciously fun!

My Review

I enjoyed Dishing Up Devotions: 36 Faith-Building Activities for Homeschooling Families. Each devotion starts off with scripture, followed by commentary, Prayer, Affirmation, Family Activity and Baking Buddies with a different easy to follow recipe. I have to admit that my favorite section of the devotions were the recipes. I look forward to spending more time with my children trying out some of them.  

Dishing Up Devotions: 36 Faith-Building Activities for Homeschooling Families is getting a well deserved five plus stars from me. I highly recommend it for parents who homeschool their children and looking for inspiration. I would love to see what other devotions Katie J Trent can put together in the future. 

I received a digital copy of Dishing Up Devotions: 36 Faith-Building Activities for Homeschooling Families from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
