Bridging Theory and Practice in Children's Spirituality

Children & Youth

“The authors in this book represent a wide range of disciplines, providing the reader with insights into many aspects of child development and spiritual nurture. Based on these insights, they offer practical ways of ministering with children and their families. They also challenge the readers to broaden their awareness of children and families who are not in the church and to reach out and welcome them into the embrace of God’s love through the church.”

Exploring and Engaging Spirituality for Today’s Children

Children & Youth

“Rich insights from Scripture, church history, research with children, the social sciences, and the practices of persons ministering with children shed light on how to interact with children in ways that nurture their faith. Several authors share from their first-hand experiences of engaging children in new ways of spending time with God through reflection, listening, and worship. Social justice issues that impact children are also examined. The breadth of the topics and the spiritual and theoretical perspectives explored in this book make this an excellent resource for students as well as for those who are currently engaged in ministry with children.”

Forming Resilient Children

Children & Youth

“Holly Catterton Allen provides great wisdom and assistance, which come from her lifelong journey of ministering with children and studying what is best for them. She highlights the importance of the spiritual nurture of children in the forming of resilience. . . . The book is written for a wide range of persons: parents, grandparents, persons leading ministries with children and families in the church, counselors, and those who work in settings where overt spiritual conversations are not allowed. It is a valuable resource for those who desire to raise resilient children to know God and live well in our changing world.”
