Book Description

Eileen Drilling and Judy Rothfork have put together an exciting approach to classroom and family faith-sharing. Children will enjoy the time spent talking about God with an adult and parents and teachers will be inspired by a child's growth in faith. This series provides an easy way to support children in their relationship with God, to give adults and children a way of expressing verbally and ritually their experience of God, to internalize the scriptures, and to strengthen faith life by sharing experiences, prayers and blessings. Each component of Listening to God's Word is lectionary-based and available for Year A, Year B and Year C. Although Listening to God's Word is designed for 8-to 12-year-olds, even younger children will enjoy the stories and activities. Older children may use the adult journal or assist younger siblings or students. Activities and Stories Both adults and children will enjoy activities centered on Sunday's lectionary readings. Stories, questions, games, prayers and blessings help root faith deeply as the church journeys through the entire liturgical year.
