A great resource book for children's sermons
There are several things I like about this book. The every-day, easy to find objects used in the sermons are items that children in my church quickly identify. The stories are interesting to adults and children and I don't have to add much to them. There are also special occasion lessons, such as Father's Day and Super Bowl Sunday. The book includes both a scripture index and a topical ...

A well written book that is enjoyable all the way through
The only thing I didn't like about it is that it ended. I didn't want to let these characters go. It was a wonderful read full of depth and struggles but with hope that inspires me to do more with my life. I hope there will be more books with these characters because I LOVED this book!

Missouri Memories
The plots in the stories in this book are very predictable and are slightly saccarine. But, all in all, it's easy reading and pleasant compared to some other books that require complete concentration! I'd say, go for it if you want happy endings!
