With its fresh perspectives on history, social science, theology, and practical ministries, this volume is a welcomed addition to an important and growing movement to recognize, celebrate, and nurture the spiritual lives of the children in our midst."
Eugene C. Roehlkepartain, Codirector, Center for Spiritual Development in Childhood and Adolescence, Search Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota
"Reading these research-grounded chapters made me feel like I had discovered new veins of gold that were waiting to be mined and used in my own ministry. . . . [C]hurch practitioners, Sunday school teachers, and parents will all benefit . . . . This book, like precious metal, will have a front-and-center spot on my bookshelf. What's more important, I will use it."
