John Wiley & Sons Inc Real Kids Real Faith : Practices For Nurturing Children'S Spiritual Lives by Karen Marie Yust , Foreword by Eugene C. Roehlkepartain
In a culture that has lost touch with love, compassion, and meaning, how can parents be intentional about building a spiritual foundation for their childrens development? In looking to their own upbringing for guidance, parents often feel even more at a loss they dont want to make the same mistakes their parents did, so they either become too strict, or they take a completely hands-off approach. A pastor, a teacher, and a mother, Karen Marie Yust offers a refreshing array of resources and provisions to guide and sustain parents and children on thier mutual journey. Drawn from a three-year study of childrens spirituality, as well as the best in theological tradition and literature, Real Kids, Real Faith provides insight and a variety of helpful tips for nurturing childrens spiritual and religious formation. Yust challenges the prevailing notion that children are unable to grasp religious concepts and encourages parents to recognize children as capable of authentic faith.show more
