Synopsis

Funny stories. Make-you-cry stories. And all of them show us something about ourselves and our Savior we can never forget.

Kids have a way of saying things adults would never say and revealing profound—even biblical—truths in their unfiltered, unedited commentary on the world. In this inspiring book, Jon Guager shares important lessons he learned about God by observing kids. Like the story of Joslynn’s tumble. When Joslynn was camping she falls down the camper’s stairs to the horror of her watching grandparents. But when she stands up and declares, "Let’s try that again," Jon Gauger (Grandpa) notices how even though Joslynn had failed at something, she was kissed, hugged, and comforted by her family. Gauger reminds us that this is how God responds to us when we seemed to have failed "big time."

Each anecdote teaches the Christian a familiar truth through a less familiar vehicle, making this giftable book fresh and fun.

Goodreads review by Julia

I thought this book was okay - but it wasn"t what I expected. Some of the anecdotes from kids were cute and inspiring, but the link to wisdom or biblical truth felt obvious, over simplified and boring much of the time. I just felt like this was a "cheesy" book and not one I'd read again or recommend......more
