"At the centre of the Christian faith is the Christ child born in a manger, growing through childhood, telling stories, dying alone, rising and reconciling the child to God. Jesus challenged his disciples, saying that they would never enter the kingdom of heaven unless they became like little children. All Christians are God's children, yet the importance of children, and their pastoral care, is often overlooked." "This helpful and practical book offers theological, sociological and psychological insights about childhood and the care and nurture of children within the church. Marian Carter also includes questions to encourage discussion and interaction in groups or to stimulate personal reflection for individual readers."--BOOK JACKET.
