Synopsis

Kids Say the Best Things About Life offers family–centered devotions and conversations that will help you pull your family members together for five minutes (or less) at the start of every day. Each of the book s devotions begins with a humorous quote from a child and uses interesting, fun facts to coordinate the day s themes. The book then presents specific challenges and ideas for ways the whole family can use the day s spiritual truth that day.  And when the busy day is over, gather the family together once more for an end–of–the–day review of how all of you have used the morning s thought throughout the day.

About this title

Review:

This follow–up to Kids Say the Best Things About God addresses some of the topics that come up in spiritual conversations. What is heaven like? ("All the beds have gold sheets with no holes in them," says a seven–year–old.) How should kids handle it when their parents say no to something? ("You shouldn′t keep on asking and begging...although that usually works pretty good for me," suggests Allyson, age nine.) The book is organized into 30 short devotions for "families on the go," with a brief scripture verse and a meditation about it, conversation starters for family discussions and suggestions for applying the scripture ideas at school and at home.
