Wise Up: Ten-Minute Family Devotions in Proverbs

“Lets face it: its relatively easy for us parents to go around spouting wisdom to our children, including wisdom from the Bible. The real trick is to learn wisdom without losing sight of the Savior who is wisdom. Wise Up does this, using the same brief format parents and kids have found so helpful in Martys past books.”

“I dont think Ive met a parent who is satisfied with their experience of family devotions. And this is why I am grateful for Wise Up. Marty provides parents with twelve weeks of insightful and relevant family devotions from Proverbs. I heartily recommend this book to parents who want to create meaningful and memorable family devotions. Parents, wise up and buy this book!”

“Wise Up will help your children see that a life of wisdom is honest, hard-working, forgiving, generous, and faithful. But best of all, Marty Machowski shows us that this God-fearing life will only be ours when our hearts are made new by Jesus, who is himself God's wisdom for usour righteousness, holiness, and redemption.”

“Wise parents want to raise wise children. But life conspires to make us live less wisely than wed like, or they need. Wise Up helps parents to live wisely and instill that wisdom in their children. By means of fun projects, daily Scriptures, insightful explanations, helpful discussion questions, and even memorable songs, Wise Up makes family devotions doable and enjoyable for everyone.”

“In this volume, Marty Machowski has provided a precious gift to Christian families. In the pages of this book parents will find an accessible road map for sharing the riches of the wisdom of the book of Proverbs with their children. The author assists parents with this task by providing illustrative activities and songs, facilitating prayer, and by providing relevant questions aimed at unfolding the wisdom of Gods Word.”

“Wise Up by Marty Machowski is an excellent resource for family devotions. Over the course of twelve weeks, he provides engaging lessons that help families explore the wisdom of Proverbs in a five-day-a-week format. Wise Up uses songs, purposeful activities, and probing questions to draw families into the Bible, allowing them to grow closer to one another as they grow closer to God. Of all the activities we can do with our children, family devotions are the one opportunity we cannot afford to miss! ”
