5.0 out of 5 stars If you only get one of his books, get this one!, August 8, 2000
This review is from: Teaching Godly Play: The Sunday Morning Handbook (Paperback)
In the Teaching Godly Play: The Sunday Morning Handbook, one can get a good feel for the approach and philosophy behind this new approach to Children's Christian Formation. The visual and interactive nature of this Montessori-based cirriculum helps to break down barriers of communications and discussions between children and their "teachers". I have had wonderful experiences using the program from children as young as 4 and up to 11. The program is involved and initially fairly costly. Don't let that deter you from considering this approach. You'll never buy cirriculum again for your preK to first grade Sunday School classes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The One You Should Have if you Only Have One!, August 7, 2000
This review is from: Teaching Godly Play: The Sunday Morning Handbook (Paperback)
This is the single best resource on Jerome Berryman's Godly Play Christian Education program. It will familiarize the reader with the concepts and philosophy behind this Montessori-based method of Christian Education. It wonderfully challenges children from 3-10 to enter the Biblical record and helps to unleash their imagination. Some of the responses I have received from children in this program are the most theologically profound and simple. It helps me to become as a little child again and trust the story of salvation anew for myself. I recommend this program highly for churches of all sizes. Don't let the initial costs scare you off--you'll never buy cirriculum again for pre K through second grade.

5.0 out of 5 stars The How To of Godly Play, August 13, 2007
By 
SeaKayaker (Kent, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teaching Godly Play: The Sunday Morning Handbook (Paperback)
I am in the process of starting up a Godly Play Sunday School program in my church, and this handbook has the information to answer your questions. It contains examples, stories, hints, pictures, definitions, lists of supplies and responsibilities for the doorperson and storyteller. It is an excellent resource, and I am using it in making our teachers familiar with this curriculum. I highly recommend this book!
