Adventures of the God Detectives
For ages 6-10. When seven-year-old Tabitha hears a message from Jesus while listening to a Bible story, she tells her three best friends -- Emma, Jacob, and Fu-Han (who are aged eight and nine). Intrigued by her experience, the friends find themselves wondering about how God speaks to people, and to kids in particular. And with that simple question, the God Detectives are born. 'Adventures of the God Detectives' is about a group of young friends who form a club to discover the variety of ways God invites us into a relationship. The book contains seven stories. Each story includes 'Notes for Adults', and 'Questions to consider with Children', designed to help parents talk with children about spiritual experiences. The book chronicles the discoveries Tabitha, Emma, Jacob, and Fu-Han make, as they meet a native elder and a Franciscan monk, encounter a little sisters 'imaginary companion', interpret a dream, wrestle with their conscience, read the Bible, and pray.
The Kid-Dom of God
Many parents wonder how to share their faith in a way that respects their child's need to develop and grow their own spirituality. The Kid-Dom of God: Helping Children Grow in Christian Faith is a complete collection of the award-winning "Children Celebrate" columns by psychologis Nancy Reeves, Ph.D., and composer/musician Linnea Good. Selected as the "Best Family Life Column" in 2012 by the Catholic Press Association (U.S. and Canada), and placing 2nd in the "Best Column" category by the Canadian Church Press, each article is "filled with both simple and complex concepts meant to enrich family relationships, enhance spiritual growth, and offer a nexus point where everyday experience meets reflection on the sacred." As one judge commented, Reeves and Good "pack a lot of good advice into [these] provocative columns." Topics include endings, gratitude, patience, obedience, fairness and justice, awe, creation, discernment, ego, nuturing spirituality, and more.
A Match Made in Heaven
Improve your relationship with God, using the original 'how to' book -- the Bible. Books, magazines, and talk shows are full of advice on how to improve our love lives. Psychologist and spiritual director Nancy Reeves points out that some of these same principles apply to our relationship with God. The principles include: Say "I Love You" Frequently Tell Your Loved One What You Need Share Your Pain as Well as Your Joy Take Time Just to Be Together. Each of 12 chapters includes a psychological principle, the corresponding scripture passage, stories that bring the principle to life, and a relationship-building exercise. A discussion guide is included to facilitate small group use. Again Nancy Reeves has gifted us with new depth of healing through scriptural spirituality and psychology.
Pastoral Prayers to Share, Year B
Just what is pastoral prayer all about? When we pray for others and ourselves, what are we attempting to do? As David Sparks explains, as pastoral pray-ers we are about bringing ourselves into right relationship with God, both as individuals and as a faith community. As pastoral pray-ers, we are about expressing our compassion for suffering humanity, and fulfilling God's intention of establishing God's realm on earth. Pastoral pray-ers are also about being involved in the answers to our prayers. There's no trying to persuade God to do what we ourselves could do with some energy and effort here! Sparks writes his prayers to awaken in us an awareness of where to put our energy and use our faith to bring about God's kingdom on earth. The paryers cover local and worldwide events, individual and congregational concerns. They are lectionary-based and responsive and can be easily adapted to particular circumstances and used in a variety of settings.
