Many of us don't learn about the spiritual disciplines until we hit our twenties and thirties. What if we started sooner, giving the children in our churches more opportunities for spiritual formation?
This collection of articles will give you more perspective on the potential of spiritual disciplines and some ideas for implementing them into your children's ministry. NOTE: You have permission to make up to 1,000 copies of this 23-page resource to be distributed in a church or educational setting.
