Kids Say the Best Things about God: Devotions and Conversations for Families on the Go

Many parents find it hard to schedule spiritual time with their children in the busy round of homework, soccer matches, dance lessons and TV. But Mackall, a freelance writer and mother of three, says that it is indeed possible for families to grow spiritually during the chaos of daily life. This book offers a 30-day plan of ""realistic"" family devotionals, beginning with two to five minutes of conversation over breakfast and then an ""on-the-go"" conversation (which can even take place in the minivan during a fast-food run for dinner) near the end of the day. Each day's devotion begins with a reflection or question from a child: ""Jesus may have been God's son,"" one seven-year-old observes, ""but he still had to go to school."" Mackall uses these quotes as springboards to a spiritual discussion--in this case, what it means to be a Christian at school and how to be the ""salt of the earth."" The brief devotions are practical, down-to-earth, and--best of all--brief enough that children may actually pay attention.
