Warm and thought-provoking

This book was mentioned in another book I was reading, and out of curiosity I purchased it. It is AMAZING. It's full of brief (2-4 page) vignettes and poems. It is written in a humble yet heart-warming style, and addresses many opportunities to help introduce a child to concepts about God during everyday life.
inspiring and easy to read

I loved it! A wonderful way to teach children about spirituality. I learned a few things myself.
The very BEST!

As someone who works in religious education with children and parents (sometimes dealing with people of differing faiths, sometimes people new to our faith), this book has been an invaluable tool. My pages are dog-eared and now full of post-it notes. Gently Lead is a perfect book to help parents and teachers view everyday experiences as faith-filled moments. The entries are short and compelling. My favorite, "Fetching and Chopping" and its sequel "And Raking" has helped many parents and children in my experience to learn to transform ordinary work into Godly tasks. This book is perfect for use in preparing workshops, retreats, enrichment sessions for teachers and experiences for children. It is one of the top five books I use in my work as a religious education director. I have bought several copies to lend to my teachers and parents.
