The Spiritual Life of Children
In 'The Spiritual Life of Children', Robert Coles explores the profound inner lives of children and their innate spiritual curiosity. Through poignant anecdotes and vivid narratives, he uncovers how children grapple with belief, doubt, and the mysteries of existence. The book reveals the surprising depth of their questions about morality, love, and connection to the world around them. Coles invites readers to reconsider the ways in which society perceives children's spiritual experiences, challenging the assumption that spirituality is an adult concern. This thought-provoking work encourages us to listen and learn from the young, who possess a unique lens through which to view life's most significant mysteries.
