Title Side by Side with God in Everyday Life: Helping children to grow with God through all times
Author Yvonne Morris
Description

Side by Side with God in Everyday Life invites churches and families alike to use a simple retelling of stories from the Bible as the basis for helping children to think more deeply about a wide range of everyday topics.

In total there are 28 easy-to use story-based sessions, each one featuring one of the times and seasons outlined in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, such as birth, death, planting, uprooting, laughing, mourning, dancing, giving, listening, love, hate, war and peace. Each session picks out two related Bible stories, one to set the scene and the other to go deeper into the theme. The idea is that these simple retellings can be used to promote open questions, reflection, discussion, further exploration and prayer, and readily act as prompts towards a deeper understanding of what it means to walk side by side with God in everything we do. Includes 28 themes for exploring everyday topics with children. Ideal for 6-10s.

Foreword by The Right Revd John Pritchard, Bishop of Oxford
