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 placing 2nd in the "Best Column" category by the Canadian Church Press, each article is "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.
