Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
For many people, the religion of their childhood was left behind in young adulthood, as if just another childhood fantasy. But with the prospect of marriage and raising children, many begin to feel a need for spiritual grounding in religious ritual and community. Phil Catalfo shows just how some parents have succeeded in finding their spiritual bearings and in involving their children in a spiritual life. He gives concrete examples of people practicing a wide variety of faiths. Some return to the mainstream traditions of their youth while incorporating other traditions such as Vedanta and Native American spiritualism. Others become full-fledged members of such religions as Buddhism, Mahikari, and Neo-paganism. A journalist specializing in spiritual issues, Catalfo covers his topic with knowledge and empathy, and also suggests tips for promoting family spirituality and finding one's own spiritual path.

Wish I Had Seen This Book Sooner,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Raising Spiritual Children in a Material World (Paperback)
I sure wish I had known about this book back when it was new. I was raising two children then, and really didn't know what to do about their spiritual education since we didn't want to present them with the dogma of traditional religion, but doing nothing didn't seem quite right either. Having raised our children as ethical humanists, we are extremely pleased with the results. But the children's experience may have been richer had we known to try some of the paths suggested in this book.
