Bridging Theory and Practice in Children's Spirituality - New Directions for Education, Ministry, and Discipleship

Bridging Theory and Practice in Children''s Spirituality explores the different contexts, methods, and situations that influence and foster a child''s spirituality and faith development. Through a blend of theoretical understanding held in tension with practical application, it equips those who are in, or being prepared for, the varied contexts where children are spiritually formed.

It represents a broad range of Christian expression writing from a Christ-centered perspective that furthers the conversation about the next steps in children''s spirituality and faith development. Moving beyond the basics of faith nurture and what makes for effective ministry, this resource deepens our understanding of the practices in children''s lives by bringing together the best of theory and practice and includes contributions from:

• Dr. Scottie May (Wheaton College)
• Dr. Kevin Lawson (Biola University)
• Dr. Erik Carter (Vanderbilt University)
