Endorsements
“This book is a treasure of helpful ideas and insights for helping parents answer the call of Jesus to ‘let the little children come to me.’ Not only will children be blessed by God as they actively engage in congregational worship, but God will be blessed by children who come! This children’s book will be so helpful for intergenerational congregations who desire the experience of ‘one generation shall laud God’s works to another.’ ” — Robbie Castleman, Professor Emeritus, Theology & New Testament Chair, John Brown University and author of Parenting in the Pew: Guiding Your Children into the Joy of Worship
“Here we are reminded in a fresh way of the great blessing of the Lord’s Day. May this book and its message help families to appreciate the privilege of public worship and come to know the Lord of the Sabbath.” — Carine Mackenzie, Inverness, Scotland.

Even more, he helps children see how Sunday truly is the best day of the week.” — Christina Fox, author of several books including A Holy Fear: Trading Lesser Fears for the Fear of the Lord and Tell God How You Feel: Helping Kids with Hard Emotions.
