This book by the "God Squad" is a MUST have for couples and families of all faiths. This book explores the many questions both children and adults have as they walk the path in their spiritual journey. My husband and I are an interfaith couple and love to share this book with everyone we know. Some enjoy it so much, they won't give it back. Rabbi Gellman and Msgr.Hartman are humorous and insightful. Add this book to your home library - you won't regret it!

As the owner of a bookstore for many years, I cannot tell you how many copies of this book I sold...or how many parents came back for second copies after they wore the first one out reading it to their kids. My Jewish friends were especially pleased to find a book that answered so many important questions in an inclusive way. Rabbi Gelman and his close friend, Fr. Hartman, have a website, a weekly column and lots of wisdom to share in ways we can all appreciate no matter what our age or spiritual persuasion.

I've been looking for a way to introduce a benevolent concept of God to my daughter for a long time, but couldn't find any that were not tied to a single religion. This book was funny, light-hearted, and yet covered a broad concept of God. I highly recommend it!

This book is a great resource for families that are interfaith. The book was recommended to me by quite a few women in my situation. It spells out how to explain to your children about why Mommy and Daddy have different faiths. This book also helps send the message on how to share where the messages are similiar between faiths. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching how to translate religion and religious choices to their children.

Excellent information for children and parents searching for answers. I'm gifting all my pre-teen grandchildren with a copy.

This book has been very helpful for me when my daughter poses a theological question. Sometimes you know the answer, but have trouble putting it into words a kid can understand. This book is for those times. We'll read the chapter together and then discuss. Sometimes my daughter still has more questions, but the book gives us a starting point and often offers a perspective I hadn't thought of before. Note, this is not the book for explaining the concept of the trinity or the details of the Westminster Catechism. This book is focused on those questions your 5-9 year old comes up with that cover really broad aspects of theology, like "Why does God let bad things happen?" The reading level is too advanced for most early elementary children, but should be fine for listening to a parent read.

The thoughtful perspective of this book gives kids of all ages and denominations the tools with which to think about God and what God means to each of them.
