As a Christian author, I reluctantly have to admit that I sometimes break the 10th commandment, which is… thou shalt not covet.
But how can I not think, as I pick up Vanessa Myer’s new book… I wish I’d written this?
This lovely new family devotional is based on the simple premise that just as Jesus shared breakfast with his disciples, he also wants to share breakfast with you! 
In her introduction, Vanessa Myers describes Breakfast with Jesus like this…
In this 100-day devotional, you will be hanging out with Jesus each morning and learning more about Him. Each devotion comes from one of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.) As you read each devotion, pretend like you are one of the disciples and Jesus is teaching you… much like he did that morning on the beach with them. And make sure to grab some breakfast and eat with Jesus as you spend time with Him.
Along with each day’s story, Vanessa also offers a Scripture verse, prayer, and a ‘Follow Me’ activity. As an added bonus, you’ll also find breakfast recipes scattered throughout the book.
I love this review of the book by nine year-old, Nolen Atcheson:
Reading these devotions helps me to think about Jesus each morning and reading it in the morning helps me to remember to show Jesus to others each day.
What a precious endorsement of this new devotional that reaches into little minds and hearts and encourages them to be the hands, voice, and feet of Jesus in the world.

This devotional looks like a must have. My favorite breakfast food depends on whether I want to splurge or eat healthy. To splurge, homemade blueberry pancakes with bacon and real maple syrup. Healthy fave: Greek yogurt with coconut, almonds and flex seed.
Splurge…all the way! Thanks for entering, Jeanne!
Egg-a-Muffins is our Christmas morning tradition. I cook sliced summer sausage, then I fry eggs over-easy, top them each with with cheese – all on a hot-buttered English Muffin.

This books sounds like something that would be great for families to have. Breakfast is so rushed these days, but how nice it would be to be intentional about having a family breakfast and carving our important time to be with and learn about Jesus! It is just what children need!
