Helping Children Find God e-bog

A realistic, straight-forward approach to exploring one's faith and doubts, and talking with the next generation about important spiritual issues. A child's spiritual pilgrimage begins from the earliest moments of life and is shaped by the significant adults in the child's ever-expanding world. Yet often adults have an inadequate or unclear understanding of their faith, and are unsure how to impart their own Christian beliefs to their children in a credible and meaningful way. Oppenheimer offers guidance for adults who seek ways, for themselves and for their children, to "e;live with the questions"e; with a faithful openness and deep sincerity. She presents the possibilities for adults to "e;become as little children"e; in their faith, without naivete, and for children to "e;grow in wisdom and stature,"e; without the need for dogmatic certainties. An encouraging book for those who face the challenge of living out the Christian commitment--of maintaining the balance of being true to Christ while being true to one's self and one's children.
