Lots of useful discussion starters. I'm especially pleased it includes some fairly basic discussions such as walking with God, who is God, what is faith. Too often it's taken for granted that our kids have already thought about this sort of thing, esp the kids that have been in Sunday School for years. My experience has been that kids view Christianity as a habit unless prompted to dig deeper. I love that this book asks what kids think rather than telling them what they should think.
