Book Description

The Proverbs Project: Head to Toe Devotions for the Whole Family is a 30-day devotional that helps families engage in connection-based and biblical conversations about life. Written by two licensed professional counselors, this devotion draws equally on theology and therapy to help families connect to each other and God. Participants are taken through key verses in Proverbs that highlight five body parts (head, feet, mouth, eyes, and heart) as a means of embodying wisdom with one’s whole self. Thus, “head to toe.”

Each devotion includes three action components (Pray, Discuss, Do) to help the day’s wisdom concept be internalized. Integrating attachment theory and Christian theology, The Proverbs Project provides a unique opportunity for families to connect over all three relational domains: God, Self, and Others. The Proverbs Project is designed with the busy family in mind. Families can choose to use it daily, weekly, monthly, or as time allows knowing that each entry offers new opportunities for connection and insight with the family.

Families with children ages 6-14 years are ideal for the Proverbs Project, but younger and older children can benefit as well. This family devotion will establish a lifelong foundation for families to seek God’s Word and His wisdom while connecting to one another in a variety of meaningful ways.
