Dandi Daley Mackall, . . Jossey-Bass, $12.95 (208pp) ISBN 978-0-7879-6968-4

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.
