Why I Believe in God: And Other Reflections by Children

By Dandi Daley Mackall

Out of the mouths of babes come words of wisdom. Author Dandi Daley Mackall asked children across the country why they believe in God. Their heartwarming-and often hilarious-answers will charm, inspire, and delight you. Inside, you'll discover such gems as: I believe in God, but I still wonder about a lot of things. Like I wonder how He made eyeballs. God is very powerful. He made the whole world in six days. It takes me that long to clean my room! There are so many people talking to God at the same time. He listens to every one of them and doesn't even have call waiting. And many more!

When we have trouble understanding God - just go ask a kid!

The World is in Good Hands

With all of the talk about children and violence these days, it's so refreshing to see that children still have faith. Each child's individual account of how they imagine God is so touchingly innocent, I waivered between chuckling and happy tears. This is a perfect gift for Mother's Day to show moms that their religious influence can make a difference!

Reviewer from Norman, Oklahoma

This is a book to give as a gift to someone you want to make laugh and still get to the essence of who God really is. The child like perception of the greatness of God revealed by children all over the country is expertly compiled by the author in a clever , uplifting way. The childlike faith expressed in the book will hopefully "rub off" on the adults and children alike who will be reading the different comments in the book. I have read all of Dandi Mackall's books and this one continues in the excellent tradition that has made her an outstanding author for Christian children's books!

Definitely made me laugh! A great little gift book!

I'm always amazed at the wisdom in what kids say. And the author has collected some of the best insights I've ever seen from kids. I especially liked the comment that there are so many people talking to God and he doesn't even have call-waiting! Humorous and insightful. A great little gift book or stocking stuffer for the Holidays. I've purchased seven for gifts already!
