Children’s Ministry That Fits

Children & Youth

“David Csinos gives us practical insights and ideas to move children's ministry 'beyond one size fits all' and fashion our approaches around the lives of children and their emerging spiritual styles. Csinos provides the helpful lens of the four spiritual styles to guide congregations in developing practical strategies and activities that address the spiritual needs of all children. A great resource for all those who care about the spiritual life of children.”

Family Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Family Ministry: A Comprehensive Guide is a gift to everyone in church leadership and ministry with families. Diana Garland accomplishes the almost impossible--blending history, theology, family theory and pastoral practice into one book that is a must-have resource for everyone who works with families. Diana's knowledge, experience and wisdom are woven into each chapter of the book. Family Ministry provides congregations with vision and practices for ministry with families in the 21st century.”

Holy Work with Children

Discipleship & Christian Education

“Holy Work with Children is a must-read for everyone who cares about children and their spiritual lives. The book is filled with Tanya’s wisdom, insights, and practical ideas for accompanying children on their journey with God. On every page you will experience her love, respect, and appreciation for children and their stories, experiences, and questions. Her fourfold approach to children’s meaning-making—engage with the faith tradition, recognize the presence of God, claim their own experience, and respond—provides practical direction for every faith community.”

Intergenerational Christian Formation

Discipleship & Christian Education

“A classic is even better! Everyone will benefit from the new research, stories, insights, and practices in Intergenerational Christian Formation. The authors have done a great job of capturing the energy and growth of intergenerational ministry over the past decade. If you are new to intergenerational ministry, begin with this book! If you are a veteran, fine-tune your knowledge and skills.”

Spiritual Conversations with Children

Children & Youth

“There are so many things to love about Spiritual Conversations with Children—solid theology, spiritual insights, practical suggestions, stories of children and their relationship with God. But what I love most is Lacy's deep appreciation and love for children. She invites us to enter into the world of young people and their relationship with God—to understand what is going on in their lives and how God is at work in those lives. She introduces us to spiritual direction with children and teaches us how to build listening relationships with them and to appreciate and value their lives and faith. This book is a gift to parents, grandparents, and all those who work with children and their families.”
