Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I wish I had the Lord Jesus Christ, the church, and this book twenty-two years ago when I started raising my children” Elizabeth Arant, Educational Media Specialist When children enter your life, one thing immediately comes to mind: things would probably go much more smoothly if they came with an owner’s manual. And for those who want their children to follow God and live a godly life, some extra help might be nice to help counter the negative influences children will face every day. Author Jessie Adams can help. In A Guide to the Spiritual Development of Children: Seventeen Subjects Every Christian Parent Needs to Focus Upon, he shares the knowledge he developed in a decade of ministering at his church and counseling young people and their families. Parents will learn how to talk with their children about subjects such as love, discipline, society, prayer, finances, and the justice system. Extensive scriptural passages provide additional guidance and inspiration. A Guide to the Spiritual Development of Children: Seventeen Subjects Every Christian Parent Needs to Focus Upon will guide parents as they strive to take their rightful place as the leader in their children’s development. “The familiar saying of ‘Home is where the heart is‘ is more than a good proverb. It reveals that the home is a place where God has called parents to raise Godly children. Upon reading The Guide for the Spiritual Development of Children by Jessie Adams, the principles he hits upon lead right to the heart of the home of how parents can pass the test of being and becoming Godly examples to their children by being the primary catalyst to their spiritual development. The biblical principles which are given in this book can encourage, exhort, and equip any parent in training up godly children who will make an eternal impact in the lives of their own children in the future. I highly recommend this book to any parent or parent-to-be as a powerful tool in helping them raise Godly children.” Reverend Brad Threatt, Senior Pastor Spring Hill Baptist Church, Lancaster, SC

Download or read book Nurturing Children s Spirituality written by Holly Allen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children's spiritual development is currently a hot topic in Christian circles, as well as in other fields and disciplines such as educational psychology, medicine, developmental psychology, education, and sociology. The key question for Christian scholars and educators is How do Christian beliefs and practices uniquely interrelate with children's spirituality? In 2003 and again in 2006, a national conference entitled Children's Spirituality Conference: Christian Perspectives examined children's spirituality from a distinctly Christian standpoint. This book is a collection of the best materials from the 2006 conference. The first half of the book addresses definitional, historical, and theological concerns related to spiritual development in children. The second half explores best practices for fostering spiritual growth among our children--in our homes, families, churches, Christian schools, and among special populations of children--from a wide spectrum of Christian scholars and practitioners. The volume closes with John Westerhoff's moving keynote address and Catherine Stonehouse and Scottie May's eloquent, culminating plenary address. Nurturing Children's Spirituality provides a rich cross section of the current research and writing by Christian scholars on children's spirituality. Contributors: Holly Catterton Allen, Michael J.

Download or read book Helping Our Children Grow in Faith written by Robert J. Keeley and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children have serious faith questions that require serious answers, answers that adults often find themselves under-prepared to give. But the Christian community has a responsibility to help its children develop a three-dimensional faith--a faith that affects their heads, their hearts, and their spirits. Helping Our Children Grow in Faith is designed for children's ministry and worship leaders, Sunday school teachers, and pastors--as well as parents--who want to nurture the spiritual development of the children in their lives. It shows how to integrate children into congregational worship, how to teach them the Bible but leave room for the mystery of God, and how to distinguish the difference between faith development and moral development.
Download or read book The Spiritual Child written by Dr. Lisa Miller and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Spiritual Child, psychologist Lisa Miller presents the next big idea in psychology: the science and the power of spirituality. She explains the clear, scientific link between spirituality and health and shows that children who have a positive, active relationship to spirituality: * are 40% less likely to use and abuse substances * are 60% less likely to be depressed as teenagers * are 80% less likely to have dangerous or unprotected sex * have significantly more positive markers for thriving including an increased sense of meaning and purpose, and high levels of academic success. Combining cutting-edge research with broad anecdotal evidence from her work as a clinical psychologist to illustrate just how invaluable spirituality is to a child's mental and physical health, Miller translates these findings into practical advice for parents, giving them concrete ways to develop and encourage their children's—as well as their own—well-being. In this provocative, conversation-starting book, Dr. Miller presents us with a pioneering new way to think about parenting our modern youth.

The second section covers evidence about links of child and parental RS to children's psychosocial adjustment, and highlights the need for more research that discriminates specific positive and negative manifestations of RS for children's development. The third section summarizes evidence about the robust influence of parents on their children's RS development and parents' perceptions of their role in this process. The fourth section focuses on cognitive-developmental research on children's cognitions about God/deities and prayer. The Element concludes with a synopsis of key themes and challenges that researchers face to advance the science of children's RS development.
