The Bible And Friends Testimonies

BY GWEN HALSTED AND MARY KAY REHARD
"In 1998-99 at Clear Creek Friends Meeting, when the children asked to explore the Bible, we chose to weave biblical studies together with learning about our Quaker heritage. We developed this curriculum to span an entire school year..There are many ways to bring to life the values expressed in the testimonies, but we chose to find examples in biblical passages, mostly stories, to illustrate faith in God, learning to discern divine leadings, and having courage and determination to put beliefs into action." - the authors This is a downloadable .pdf version of this publication.

Teaching Godly Play, Revised & Expanded

How To Mentor The Spiritual Development Of Children

BY JERROME BERRYMAN
Teaching Godly Play is a revised and expanded, 2nd edition of a book published in 1995. It begins by discussing why serious-serene play is important to nourish children's spirituality and then moves the reader through the process of how to mentor children so they can enter adolescence with an inner working model of Christianity. This system includes stories, parables, and contemplative silence. This method is used in combination with the Godly Play curriculum, which is found in the seven volumes of The Complete Guide to Godly Play, and Quakers have their own Faith and Play to develop a specificly Quaker understanding. Looks the same size as the others- but it is actually much smaller!
