This was the third book for the Renovare Book Club. I really enjoyed it. She talks about many aspects of what it means to approach God as a child. She also has so many books to recommend, and I got almost all of them from the library for my Renovare Book Club small group to look at.
I found the discussion to be very enjoyable, and PLAY was the thing that most of the women in the group had the hardest time with (except me - my dad taught me to play - I am very grateful).
I liked it so much that I signed up for Lacy's class doing Spiritual Direction with children. I am looking for kids aged 4-14 to meet with for 8 hours for three months. It should be fun!
Here is a blurb on the book from Amazon:
Embrace the invitation of childlike faith. A well-known challenge of Jesus to his followers is to become like little children. But it's often difficult to remember the natural patterns of our childhood selves that enabled us to live freely in God's wonder-filled presence. Is childlike faith simply an unquestioning faith, or is it being present with ourselves in a way that invites healing and wholeness? Faith Like a Child considers Jesus' invitation to childlike faith and explores seven distinct ways of welcoming the child within. Offering wisdom from years of experience as a spiritual director with both adults and children, Lacy Finn Borgo explores practices to welcome and enliven your childhood self. Offering examples of what becoming like children could look like, Borgo invites you to take Jesus up on his offer to live more deeply into a relationship with God. As we welcome our childhood selves, we allow God to heal our wounds so we can live in freedom with Jesus as our companion.
Now I am only three months behind on my writing up reviews for my books. It has been a very BUSY winter and spring! (Fun though!)
