Victor Discovers Treasures

Sharon was used by God to write two books of 45 daily devotional digs in each book. And I, Victor, am so happy to appear in many of these! 

GOD GETS ALL THE PRAISE! 

Many times God uses people to write things or say things that help others know more about Jesus and Heaven. Sharon prays every day that Victor the Donkey Book Series, Books 1 & 2 will help you know more about the Bible and more about Jesus!

Find out why we are called "pots", "sheep", and "branches";

and why Jesus is called our "Potter", "Shepherd", and "Vine".

Gold Nuggets of Biblical Truth

God’s Word “unpacked” clearly so children can more easily understand.

Dig Deeper with Scripture

All treasure talk is supported by Scripture. The shovels are “footnotes.” In the back of the book, all verses are written out in their entirety.

Direction for Godly Living

Activities or action points next to the treasure chests will help children cement these truths and apply them to their lives.

Review of Victor Discovers Treasure Book 1

I love how creative and original this book of devotions is. Kids are going to love the many references to Victor the donkey as they dig for treasure from the Bible. Engaging and entertaining, yet packed full of biblical truth, this book will help parents teach their children more about God and how we are to live in today’s world. Great to use with one child at a time or with the whole family.

45 Daily Devotional Digs for Kids

These 45 daily digs into God’s Word give kids some of the clues and discoveries they need to reach life’s reward (their treasure) with God the Father someday. Since a donkey is mentioned more than 100 times in the Bible, it is part of the fun and adventure to have “Victor” help us out.

“Discovery” involves searching, exploring, digging, and finding something good! The Bible is full of word treasure-clues; words that put a picture in our minds to make our journey on this earth a discovery of truth. Adults call Bible word treasures metaphors, similes, and imagery. It’s called “freedom language” in Romans 6:19 from the Message. Paul says, “I’m using this freedom language because it is easy to picture.”

After each daily dig there is a list of the Bible verses where the clues can be found. BUT… you have to “Dig Deeper” in the back of the book to find out exactly what those verses say. The versions chosen enable young children to understand. There is also an interactive activity that parents and grandparents can help with. This book will cause children to smile, laugh, think, and ponder. But most of all they will discover the pathway to gold–freedom language for Heaven.

Victor Discovers Treasure

45 MORE Daily Devotional Digs for Kids

People of all ages are intrigued by treasure! Whether a deep sea diver, a drill-digging miner, or a shovel-ready child beneath a tree–all are driven by the hope of finding a prize! And if a map is available to simplify the search, so much the better! The Bible is God’s treasure map. Our prize–our “gold”–is living in heaven with Him someday. But sometimes it’s not as simple as “X marks the spot.” We need help “reading” the map and understanding its mystery language. When adults say “butterflies in the tummy” or “two peas in a pod,” we know what they mean. It is very clear that someone is nervous before a performance or that two different people are a lot alike. 

When the Bible speaks in mystery language, it may not be so obvious. What does it mean to be hungry and thirsty for God? How can Jesus be like a Lamb AND like a Lion? How is Earth God’s footstool? As in Victor Discovers Treasure, Book One, these additional 45 daily digs into God’s Word give kids some of the clues and discoveries they need to reach life’s reward (their treasure) with God the Father someday. To engage children and keep their attention, Victor the donkey appears on every page. The special meaning of “victor” is also highlighted in this second book. The Bible is full of word treasure-clues; words that put a picture in our minds to make our journey on this earth a discovery of truth. Adults call Bible word treasures metaphors, similes, and imagery. It’s called “freedom language” in Romans 6:19 from the Message. Paul says, “I’m using this freedom language because it is easy to picture.” 

After each daily dig a shovel indicates the list of the Bible verses where the clues can be found. BUT… you have to “Dig Deeper” in the back of the book to find out exactly what those verses say. Each version used was prayerfully chosen to enable young children to understand clearly. By the small treasure chest there is an action point that parents and grandparents can help with to “cement” the truth. This book will cause children to smile, laugh, think, and ponder. But most of all they will discover the pathway to gold–freedom language for Heaven.

Review of Victor Discovers Treasure Book 2

This is the most unique, creative Bible devotional for kids I’ve ever seen! Young readers will join Victor the Donkey on a journey to explore deep biblical metaphors that will help them grow in their relationship with Jesus and understanding of the language and interpretation of important biblical principles. This adorable donkey shows up on every page and is sure to captivate young readers’ minds and hearts! The lively illustrations and symbols, along with additional Bible verses and recommended activities will enhance children’s understanding of each lesson. 

The “Treasure Talk” at the end of each devotional offers a simple statement that represents the deeper lesson learned and is relatable and a valuable aid for remembering important concepts. This devotional is an exciting adventure into the deeper things of God and is sure to delight and disciple young children for the Kingdom, cultivating their spiritual growth and intimacy with God.
