"Here is a book that explores what Jesus meant when he told us we need to become as little children. With her great wealth of stories, Grace Moyer Frounfelker shares, in a simple and yet profound way, what it means to grow in childlike and Christlike qualities, which should characterize our lives.
"Many of her stories not only illustrate the childlike qualities we need but also help us realize and appreciate them in each child we meet. The book is written with warmth and love, speaks to the heart, and gently urges us to become as little children."
John M. Drescher, Harrisonburg, Virginia, Author, Seven Things Children Need, and many other books
"This inspiring collection of true stories of children's experiences of God offers two gifts: a fresh, unsentimental view of the faith of children and an invitation to adults to open themselves again to the simplicity and joy of childlike trust in a gracious God.
"The book would be a welcome gift for parents or grandparents. It might also put a sparkle back into the eyes of tired teachers or pastors in the church. With the well-written discussion questions for each chapter, adult faith nurture groups could profit from it.
"Not weighted down with psychology (but aware of its contributions), the book stays focused on the heart of the matter: Jesus calls us to become as little children and thus receive the kingdom of God."
Marlene Kropf, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary, Elkhart, Indiana
