"Nobody is better qualified to write about the spiritual life of children than Robert Coles. As an MD trained by William Carlos Williams, and a trailblazing expert in phenomenological research, Coles studies children by letting them tell their own stories. The results are profound, especially in this book about children and spirituality. Remarkable and very moving."
"This is an okay book but not what I was looking for--it focuses on school-age children,and I am interested in the faith development of infants and toddlers. This takes a more sociological/psychological look at children's concepts of God across religions, whereas I was looking for information about Christian faith formation."
"not bad, really... but not as indepth as i wanted. i learned a lot about robert coles, but not a lot of new stuff about kids-- and his definition of "children" seems to be 10-12 year olds... and i was really wanting to learn about really young kids."
"Gave up on this after 100 pages or so...seemed to narrowly defined on the Christian spiritual tip; more clinical than spiritual, very methodological. Reminds me of Oliver Sacks--I like the storyline, but the perspective turns very clinical and I lose interest. Maybe I'm not a scientist..."
Millennium Whole Earth Catalog "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." -- Nancy A. Pietrafesa
