Children's Spirituality: What it is and Why it Matters

This concise guide is an ideal introduction to the increasingly popular topic of children's spirituality. Mixing theory with tips on 'good practice', leading expert Rebecca Nye shows how choices made in churches and homes can stimulate or stifle a child's spiritual development. Seeing childhood as a natural source of spirituality, she explores the role of Christian nurture and worship in early spiritual development, and ways to help children value and express their spirituality.

'A powerful reaffirmation and exploration of the importance of childhood spirituality for the ministry and mission of the church, which will be welcomed by all working in this field.'
