A practical book that outlines (at a lay level) current thinking on child development and spirituality, and brings them together to propose effective ways to work with children in the church.
This book engages with the ideas of Godly Play, an approach developed by Jerome Berryman in the US and gaining ground and enthusiasts among those involved in faith development here, and puts them into a UK context.
The grounding in theory and the case histories from the author's own work fill out a rounded picture.
Explore a comprehensive book that connects child development theories with spirituality, providing insights and methods for nurturing children's faith in church environments.
