Book Description A Child of God: Stories of Jesus and Stewardship Activities for Children bridges faith in the wisdom of Jesus Christ with a deep caring for the natural world and all our brothers and sisters. Original versions of stories from the New Testament take children on a journey through the miracles and adventures of Jesus' life as a guide for living in a connected way with all of Creation.

Caduto provides reflections and activities that serve as stepping stones for growing children's faith, for exploring and strengthening their relationship to nature and humankind, and for giving thanks.
A Child of God can be used directly by children in the middle-to-upper elementary years, ages 8 to 12, and it can be adapted for younger and older children. It can be shared by teachers, families and congregations, among friends and across generations.
A Child of God leads young hearts and minds to understand the vitality of prayer, the sanctity of Creation and the importance of stewardship and celebration. It will helps young readers to see the stories of their own lives as exciting journeys, and how Jesus can guide them toward a prayerful, caring celebration of nature and community.

A Child Of God: Stories Of Jesus And Stewardship Activities For Children is both a story and an activity book for Christian children. It presents brief tales of Jesus Christ adapted from scripture; along with the stories are reflections, paragraphs that contemplate aspects of the sacred tales and invite children to do the same, as well as activities that help young people express their faith. Suggested activities include putting on a puppet play, drawing maps of locations spoken of in the Bible, and learning more about the natural history and life cycle of animals mentioned in the Bible, as well as programs designed to protect endangered animals. The color illustrations are the perfect complement to the reverent tone of the text. A Child Of God is a profoundly spiritual resource for Christian families, Sunday schools, and church youth libraries, and embraces the idea that the best way to practice the teachings of Jesus is through thoughts and actions both. Highly recommended.
