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.

Maturing in our Christian lives and in the experience of God's grace takes intentionality. While some tend to believe that following Christ is a daunting and sometimes joyless task, believers who have been transformed by the love of Christ know that it is an interesting, satisfying, and spiritually rewarding adventure.With six readable sessions, Growing in Faith is an approachable guide to developing life-long habits for spiritual growth. Readers will explore the role of prayer, Bible reading, meditation, fasting, silence, Christian service, and more, all in an effort to help them understand more fully the joy of pursuing holiness.
