Description:
All parents hope that their children develop a spiritual sense of life. Even parents alienated from institutional religion, when their children reach a certain age, cast around for some authentic experience of awe and reverence that young people can share. This book is written for such children and such parents.
The spiritual development of children is at least as significant as any other phase of their growth. The first part of this book provides a theoretical basis for that development. The second section considers the process of spiritual growth, relating it to developments in psychology and human development. Part three offers a twelve-step program based on Native American, Christian and Eastern influences. The final section of the book examines new models of living as a spiritual person in today's world.
