A good resource

As a Pagan Parent, it is hard to find creative ideas to inspire my children to look deep within themselves for answers without teaching any religious philosophy. This book allows my children so many hands on activities that they can relate to the real world and apply to their spiritual self.

An excellent set of workbook experiences

Parents may wish to heighten a child's spiritual awareness but have been unable to find good resources: Nurturing Spirituality In Children provides simple lessons parents can teach to kids in lessons of ten minutes at a time. From words which are powerful to teaching compassion and a sense of God, this provides an excellent set of workbook experiences.

A well thought out book introducing spiritual concepts.

We use this book in our Junior Church Program when we want to demonstrate a concept. Well laid out book with an idea for each week. Combined with a story it makes for a well rounded lesson. The demosntrations work well in a mixed age group.

Hands-and-Hearts-on spirituality at it's best!

Whether for presentation to children or adults, Jenkins, PhD clearly gives activities which demonstrates even the most difficult of spiritual principles. For any sensory strength type (see, hear, touch, etc.) to rememember the bottom line of the reality of spirit. Have fun!
