Learning to Love
Parents and children, friends and acquaintances, teachers and students learn from each other and, throughout life, help develop and refine the human capacity for love. Learning to Love illustrates this phenomenon in beautifully written prose and poetry by well-known author and children's minister, Gretchen Wolff Pritchard. Writing from her perspective as founder of The Children's Mission of St. Paul and St. James in New Haven, Connecticut, author Pritchard documents significant experiences in her life that formed her, and in so doing, brings the reader to new insights about her own life.

Offering the Gospel to Children
Church education programs for children often substitute children’s Bibles for Holy Scripture and simple moralism for imagination. Gretchen Wolff Pritchard shows how to offer the gospel imaginatively to children, with practical ideas on children’s worship, liturgy, drama, pastoral care, and study of the Bible. The final chapter includes an exhaustive annotated bibliography of children’s books for the parish library, and resources for parents and teachers.

Here are three different Christmas pageants complete with music, staging directions, scenery and costume suggestions, plus pointers about how to organize your event.

Perspectives on Children's Spiritual Formation
Perspectives on Children’s Spiritual Formation presents in counterpoint form four views of children’s spiritual formation and four related methods of Christian Education. Each chapter is written by a prominent person(s) representing his or her view. Contributors also respond to the other viewpoints. Views include the contemplative-reflective model (cultivating a quiet, worshipful spirit), instructional-analytic model (involving child evangelism and Bible memorization), pragmatic participatory model (focusing on high-energy activities, often seen in mega-churches), and the media-driven active-engagement model (using a video-based curriculum with limited teacher training).
