Publisher's Note In this best-selling volume--the most popular he has written--Coles goes a step beyond any of his other inquiries and shows us children--Christian, Moslem, Jewish, secular--face-to-face with the idea of God. Mary Gordon writes in The New York Times Book Review, "The generosity of vision . . . enables him to create a climate where words of great beauty and truthfulness can be spoken". 16-page color insert.
In this eighth and final volume in his Pulitzer Prizewinning Children of Crisis series, Coles examines the religious and spiritual lives of children. By using children's own words and pictures, Coles presents their deepest feelings.
Industry Reviews "Robert Coles has been listening carefully to the voice of children's souls since the late fifties. His books address subtle but important dimensions of children's emerging selves, which they are actively constructing from the environment in which they live. His keen ear and thoughtful analysis yield a comprehensive psychological and sociological portrait of the child." Millennium Whole Earth Catalog - Nancy A. Pietrafesa
