Book Review: Navigate Life Like a Pro #boymom #ChristianMom #zonderkidz

 

About the Book

Navigate Life Like a Pro is a 100-day devotional created specifically for tween and middle-grade boys, designed to help them build strong faith, lasting confidence, and real-life resilience. These in-between years can be overwhelming, as boys begin to wrestle with identity, friendships, peer pressure, anxiety, and difficult choices. This devotional offers practical, faith-based guidance to help them navigate those challenges with courage and clarity while strengthening their relationship with God.


Through engaging stories, meaningful reflections, and action-oriented steps, boys are equipped to build confidence and resilience in the face of self-doubt or setbacks, respond wisely to bullying and social pressures, and make thoughtful decisions about real-life challenges like sex and drugs. It also encourages growth in biblical wisdom, developing a daily walk with God, and surrounding themselves with positive, value-driven friendships.

Each devotion is relatable, practical, and encouraging—meeting boys where they are while guiding them toward who they’re becoming. If you’re looking for a resource that helps your son not just get through these formative years but truly thrive, this devotional offers both a strong faith foundation and real-life tools to support that journey.



My Review
This devotional has been a really meaningful addition to our daily routine. It’s simple, easy to read, and takes just a few minutes a day—which makes it incredibly approachable, especially for busy schedules or for kids who may feel overwhelmed by longer readings.

While it’s geared toward junior high boys, I’ve been reading it with my 15-year-old son, and it has been such a sweet experience. We’ve shared some laughs and, more importantly, had some genuinely good conversations sparked by the daily topics. It’s opened the door for connection in a natural, low-pressure way.

As a mom, I’m always looking for ways to help my kids build a consistent devotional life. We prioritize time in the Bible as a family, but I wanted something that would help my son see that personal time with God doesn’t have to feel long or complicated. This book does exactly that—it shows how even a few intentional minutes can matter. My hope is that as those habits form, they’ll grow into a deeper desire for that one-on-one time with the Father.


I also appreciate that each devotion encourages personal reflection and real-life application. It’s not just something to read and move on from—it invites boys to think, process, and apply what they’re learning.

One of my favorite aspects is the focus on building confidence. Not just any confidence, but confidence rooted in who God is and what His Word says. That’s something I will always support and reinforce.

Overall, this has been a great tool for both connection and spiritual growth in our home, and I would definitely recommend it to other families with boys in this age range.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
