Providing a wealth of detail about childhood and family structure, this book explores the hidden lives of children at the origins of Christianity. "Let the Little Children Come to Me" pays careful attention to the impact of gender, class, and slave status on children's lives.

The childrens hymnal is presented in three languages: English, Haitian Creole, and French. It is put together for children that speak these three languages or like to sing these hymns in a different language. They are inspired by songs I grew up singing at church and vacation bible school, and they are songs that children around the world can relate to. My daughter likes to sing, but she knows most of her hymns in English. She asked me to translate them so she can sing them in the language that we speak at church. Thats when my son said to me, You should also make a kid songbook. My two children were the inspiration behind this hymnal book. The songs that I have put together in the book have the same rhythm in all three languages. Some Bible verses of the Old and the New Testaments are included. I hope this hymnal book will bring you as much joy as it has to my family and me.

It is said that everyone has a story to tell, a voice that deserves to be heard. There are many thousands of children with special needs who have long been ignored, rejected and excluded from our schools, our communities, and, sadly, from our Bible classes. We believe that these children are loved deeply and completely by our Lord and that they too are called to come unto Him. This book speaks to the heart and to the head. Teachers and pastors will find inspiration and information, reminding them that God calls us to include all children, no matter the challenge. In addition, the book includes wonderfully practical elements with many ideas that can be easily integrated into any classroom. By combining philosophy and strategies, this book will equip the typical church volunteer teacher to meet the needs of all the children in her classroom.

Most children find plenty of time for TV, sports, and games, but how many make time for God? If the Catholic Faith is an important part of your family life, you need this book! Within these pages you'll find the secrets to helping even the smallest toddler or active teenager develop an interest in God through simple child-focused approaches that will help you lead your children to Jesus. The purpose of this book is to help you find ways of letting those little children come unto Jesus. As the Scriptural quote says, "Let the little children come unto me." Remember Jesus saying that? He wanted the little children to come to Him. And we as parents have the privilege of holding our children by the hand and going to Jesus. How do we do this? The most powerful guide we have is our Catholic faith. It has a wealth of avenues to assist us on the journey of parenting the children with Catholic Christian values. This book discusses more than 60 ways of leading our children to Jesus.

My little ones: Jesus asked the disciples to eat the broken bread in remembrance of Him. He wanted them to remember his sacrifice, the basis for forgiveness of sins, and also His friendship that they could continue to enjoy through the work of the Holy Spirit. So, Let the children come. BE BLESS

With an updated index to all of Burghardt's sermons in this and previous volumes. Once again Walter Burghardt, one of America's most talented and beloved preachers, brings his many devotees a brand-new collection of homilies, his fourteenth published by Paulist Press. The thirty homilies were delivered for occasions as diverse as a Sunday, a weekday, a memorial of a saint, or a hero such as Martin Luther King, Jr., a wedding, a radio mass, and his seventieth year as a priest. What ties them together, however, is Burghardt's abiding interest in, and pursuit of, biblical justice. As with his previous volumes, this collection will be inspirational for anyone who preaches, as a newcomer or veteran in the field, or, just as importantly, for anyone who listens. +
