From the wording, to the iconic scrolling letters of the title, this hardcover daily devotional book is in an obvious rip-off of Star Wars format in an effort to make it look cool and attractive to children. Each page inside is bordered with black and dotted with stars. The format of each page is: The Bible verse at the top, then the “Master Moment” section that basically explains the verse, followed by “Ways of Wisdom” which tells a little bit about the story in the Scripture given, and finally the “Use the Force” section helps readers apply what they have just read to their lives.
My Thoughts: I do think the idea of a quick and short daily devotional is a good idea for busy families. Parents can use this book in their bonding time with their children as they put them to bed at night. As short as it is, some people could even use it in the morning before starting their day if they make the time. However, I’m cringing as I look through this book at the utter cheesiness of the theme. The effort to make it appeal to a certain crowd went overboard, and it’s such an obvious use of the Star Wars theme that I don’t see how this could not be copyright infringement. Overall, a disappointment.
2 stars.
