The Very Best Day: The Way of Love for Children Jan 17, 2020

by Roger Hutchison

( 44 )

$7.99

• Introduces the practices for a Jesus-centered life for children

“The Way of Love” has become a mantra of Michael B. Curry’s episcopate as presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church. From the royal wedding to the 79th General Convention of the Episcopal Church and continuing
today, all ages have been inspired and eager to “grow more deeply with Jesus Christ at the center of our lives, so we can bear witness to his way of love in and for the world.”

The Very Best Day: The Way of Love for Children introduces the practices for a Jesus-centered life for children ages 3–10 and their families. Through accessible language and age-appropriate themes, it specifically
addresses children and the importance of rhythm and practice in their lives as Christians, accompanied by Roger Hutchison’s familiar and vibrant artwork. Through a cadence of words and colorful images, children will
see how to Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, and Rest in daily life as a follower of Jesus. Acquiring such wisdom at an early age will benefit children (and the adults who love them) to learn these practices for a lifetime.
