Summary

Children know God. They encounter God in diverse ways as they walk along the spiritual journey. Amidst this diversity, four distinct avenues for connecting with God emerge in the lives of children: word, emotion, symbol, and action. These are the four spiritual styles, broad approaches to spirituality and faith through which children experience God and make sense of their lives in the world around them.

Author Biography

David M. Csinos has been involved in ministry with children at congregations in the United States and Canada. He studies practical theology at Emmanuel College of Victoria University in the University of Toronto.
