It’s the day of the big trail race, and all the kids are excited—except Liam. What if he falls, like last year? He can’t lose again! With Zoe and Eli’s prayerful encouragement, Liam sets out, flies over sticks, pebbles, and leaves to the front of the pack. But just when the finish line is in sight, an accident on the trail challenges Liam to choose what he values most. Will he leave his friends behind to win the trophy?
Young children will thrill to the excitement of the race in this engaging portrayal of kids growing in their Christian faith by learning victory doesn’t always mean bringing home the trophy.

Quotes from... The Best Trophy
Liam’s stomach flip-flopped as he stared at the racecourse.
Zoe prayed, “God, You are good. Please help us be brave at our race today. Amen.”
Excitement swooshed through his veins.
Ahead of him gleamed the trophy. His eyes grew wide. “I’m going to win!”
“Come on, Liam,” said Zoe. “We need to help him.”
“But the race! The trophy! I can’t lose again.”
He couldn’t leave his friends.
“We can finish this race together.”
“We did it!” Zoe shouted.
“Friendship is the best trophy God could ever give me.”
