Spiritual Disciplines for Children, by Vernie Schorr Love. Much has been written for adults about their spiritual formation and about the practice of classic spiritual disciplines. Very little has been written for adults who work with children on how to guide children in practices that form their spirit toward Christlikeness. Spiritual Disciplines for Children offers readers the tools they need personally—and the tools they need practically—to guide children in Christian spiritual formation using twelve spiritual practices.
