However, many Christians feel inadequate in their own prayer life which makes passing this on to others quite daunting. I think prayer is both the … Read more
There are lots of models of faith. One of the ones I like is in Francis Bridger’s book Children Finding Faith. In this, faith is described as believing, trusting, doing and imagining.

I’m really keen on reading the whole story of Easter from the Bible every Easter. However, as I’ve mentioned before, I think it’s hard to find a Bible which is accessible for children who are early readers, around age 5-7 years. They are moving on from children’s Bibles, wanting more depth and more stories, but … Read more
