Summary

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.
