Teaching the Mystery of God to Children

This is a book of clues? clues to the awe and immensity of God that will lead children to think about, rather than ?learn? about, God. Instead of teaching in the traditional sense, it provides ?clues? for a shared journey toward discovering the Divine Mystery at the core of the universe. The recent trend in Christian education has been to emphasize knowledge, and to make church school more fun and entertaining. But in our zeal to pass on the basics of the faith, we have often neglected to guide children into truly experiencing the full wonder of the Almighty. This book approaches the mission from a different perspective ? one that identifies and reaffirms the spiritual experiences young people are already having. Each chapter suggest numerous ideas for use in classes, as well as a ?Time to Reflect? section for adults to recall and meditate on one's spiritual life.
