This book is warm and nonjudgmental, and respectful of the mystery of God while making that mystery visible as God's works reveal themselves in everyday life.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very BEST!, March 31, 2000
This review is from: Gently Lead: How to Teach Your Children about God While Finding Out for Yourself (Paperback)
As someone who works in religious education with children and parents (sometimes dealing with people of differing faiths, sometimes people new to our faith), this book has been an invaluable tool. My pages are dog-eared and now full of post-it notes. Gently Lead is a perfect book to help parents and teachers view everyday experiences as faith-filled moments. The entries are short and compelling. My favorite, "Fetching and Chopping" and its sequel "And Raking" has helped many parents and children in my experience to learn to transform ordinary work into Godly tasks. This book is perfect for use in preparing workshops, retreats, enrichment sessions for teachers and experiences for children. It is one of the top five books I use in my work as a religious education director. I have bought several copies to lend to my teachers and parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm and thought-provoking, November 19, 2008
This review is from: Gently Lead: How to Teach Your Children about God While Finding Out for Yourself (Paperback)
This book was mentioned in another book I was reading, and out of curiosity I purchased it. It is AMAZING. It's full of brief (2-4 page) vignettes and poems. It is written in a humble yet heart-warming style, and addresses many opportunities to help introduce a child to concepts about God during everyday life.
