A practical book that outlines (at a lay level) current thinking on child development and spirituality, and brings them together to propose effective ways to work with children in the church. The book engages with the ideas of Godly Play, an approach developed by Jerome Berryman in the US and gaining ground and enthusiasts among those involved in faith development here, and puts them into a UK context. The grounding in theory and the case histories fromthe author's own work fill out a rounded picture.

Bible stories can seem so familiar that we fail to connect with the lives and characters they reveal. Reflecting on the frailties, uncertainties and mysteries of the human experience, this title presents story meditations which offer real insight into the nature of salvation. Each is followed by suggestions.
