Eileen Drilling and Judy Rothfork have put together an exciting approach to classroom and family faith-sharing. Children will enjoy the time spent talking about God with an adult and parents and teachers will be inspired by a child’s growth in faith. This series provides an easy way to support children in their relationship with God, to give adults and children a way of expressing verbally and ritually their experience of God, to internalize the scriptures, and to strengthen faith life by sharing experiences, prayers and blessings. Each component of Listening to God’s Word is lectionary-based and available for Year A, Year B and Year C.

Whether you are the child’s teacher, catechist, parent, grandparent or godparent, you recognize that growing in faith is not just for children. The simple but meaningful reflections and journaling exercises correspond to the activities and stories book, and provide opportunities to journey in faith with the children in your life. Try using this journal with older students.
