Book Description

Many parents wonder how to share their faith in a way that respects their child’s need to develop and grow their own spirituality. The Kid-dom of God: Helping Children Grow in Christian Faith is a complete collection of the award-winning “Children Celebrate” columns by psychologist Nancy Reeves, Ph.D., and composer/musician Linnea Good. Selected as the “Best Family Life Column” in 2012 by the Catholic Press Association (U.S. and Canada), and awarded 2nd place in the “Best Column” category by the Canadian Church Press, these articles are “filled with both simple and complex concepts meant to enrich family relationships, enhance spiritual growth, and offer a nexus point where everyday experience meets reflection on the sacred.” As one judge commented, Reeves and Good “pack a lot of good advice into [these] provocative columns.” Topics include endings, gratitude, patience, obedience, fairness and justice, awe, creation, discernment, ego, nurturing spirituality, and more. The Protestant and Roman Catholic editions reflect the language, traditions, and practices of each tradition, respectively.
