The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers
Celebrate the release of A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood starring Tom Hanks with an inside look at Mister Rogers' spiritual legacy. For more than 30 years, Fred Rogers was the kindly neighbor of children worldwide. Why were kids drawn to him?

Summary of Amy Hollingsworth's The Simple Faith of Mister Rogers
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There are many things that resist hurriedness. Like quicksand, they are called non-Newtonian materials. If you try to run your fingers through a non-Newtonian fluid, the substance becomes hard and almost like a solid, but if you move your fingers slowly through it, the material yields effortlessly. #2 Mister Rogers knew how hurried children are in all aspects of their lives. He emphasized slowing down and taking time to reflect because he believes that this is what children need more of. #3 Fred Rogers was a man who loved to take his time, and he was extremely productive in his life. He taught me that taking time for yourself allows the other person to know they are worth the time. #4 Fred Rogers was a huge advocate of silence, and he used television to promote it. He knew that silence leads to reflection, and reflection leads to appreciation. He wanted his viewers to appreciate the goodness of God and His creation.
