Our Review
This collection assembles nearly two decades of international research on children's spirituality, presenting a truly global perspective on how young people develop their sense of meaning, purpose, and connection. Drawing from the archives of the International Journal of Children's Spirituality, the book explores spiritual development across diverse cultural and religious contexts, offering a multidisciplinary look at a complex and often overlooked aspect of childhood.
What makes this volume particularly valuable is its inclusion of voices from scholars across six countries, providing a rich tapestry of approaches to studying children's spiritual lives. Teen readers and young adults exploring their own beliefs will find these cross-cultural insights illuminating, as the research highlights both universal patterns and culturally specific expressions of spirituality. For anyone curious about the inner lives of children and the formation of worldviews, this compilation offers a thoughtful foundation for understanding spiritual development in our interconnected world.
