With these meditations, you can guide students to imagine themselves
present at Jesus’ birth, the wedding at Cana, the Last Supper and many other Gospel events. The
author writes in descriptive language, enabling children to feel their surroundings: the cold
water on the Sea of Galilee, the warmth of a beach fire after a day of fishing, the strength of Jesus when he
gives a hug.

“In Sydney’s book we find a way for children to ... put on the
mind and heart of Christ and
come to know Jesus is one with them. How easily children will be able to
put themselves into the story
and really feel the presence of Jesus and join him in his
ministry.”
— The Rev. Dan Reynolds, pastor, St. Mark Parish, Eugene,
Ore.
“Sydney has brought intimacy with our Christ to new heights —
and depths — for
children, using all the senses working together. A necessary
resource for children of our parish
and our community.”
— George Pritchard, pastor of Family Ministries First Baptist Church,

“These precious meditations lead children into the love and warmth
of Christ, making him known
in a personal, nurturing relationship that the human experience so longs
for.”
