In a time when screens compete for your children’s attention at every turn, it can be a challenge to find resources that win it back. Just beyond your door, God has filled the world with treasures waiting to be noticed. Made to Marvel: 52 Family Devotions Exploring the Wild Wonders of God’s Creation is a nature study devotional to help your family slow down and encounter God’s goodness together.

Each devotion within Made to Marvel highlights a common creature or plant you may find close to home, from rabbits and foxes to unlikely marvels like thistles, daddy longlegs, and even bear scat. Author Eryn Lynum pairs nature deep dives with biblical insights, outdoor activities, and beautiful natural history-style illustrations. With a special emphasis on observation, your family will practice noticing the intricate details of God’s handiwork on every walk, and you’ll soon discover His “ordinary” creations are anything but.

As your children learn science through memorable visuals, they’ll begin to recognize God's fingerprints everywhere they look, giving their faith the opportunity to grow stronger, and fueling, or even rekindling, their God-given sense of wonder. If you’re looking for a way to bring science and faith together in your homeschool, or to simply inspire your children’s love of creation, Made to Marvel is a great fit. For Charlotte Mason-inspired families, the book is a lovely companion to your regular nature study.

Structured as 52 devotions, Made to Marvel fits easily into family devotion time or alongside your science studies. It’s just as inspiring for the outdoorsy parent raising an indoorsy child (or the other way around) as it is for any family hoping to raise curious, attentive kids.
