Spiritual Conversations with Children

Children & Youth

“This book is a must-read for those doing ministry with children no matter their religious affiliation or context. It is equally meaningful reading for parents as for others who minister with children, for pastors as well as those professionals who work with children in emotional health settings.”

Sustainable Children's Ministry

Children & Youth

“It has been many years since I received that frantic call from my pastor saying that the previous children's pastor just resigned and he thought I'd be perfect for the job. I suspect that many children's pastors backed their way into ministry in much the same way that I did. I've learned a lot in the intervening years of ministry. And some of that learning came from the work of Mark DeVries, who came to my aid many times over the years with his innovative writing in the area of youth and family ministry. Now, with the partnership of an experienced children's pastor, Annette Safstrom, Mark has finally moved into my neighborhood of children's ministry. In a practical and easy-to-read way, this book will introduce you to key systems for ministry, providing a solid foundation for your ministry to thrive. As I read this systematic and well-organized book, I wished that I'd had such an easy-to-follow plan all those years ago. It would have saved my sanity over and over again!”
