BookPlace of publication: Pasay CityPublisher: Paulines Publishing HouseDate of publication: 2018Description: 32 pages: colored; illustrated, 21 cm.ISBN: 9789715907019.Subject(s): Church attendance -- Juvenile literature | Church resistance -- Juvenile literatureDDC classification: 254 F192 2018 Summary: It's normal and natural for children to go through phases when they don't want to go to church. The reasons involved differ greatly depending on the age of the child. But in each case, we do best when we avoid power struggles, appreciate the child's point of view, and see the resistance as an opportunity to pass on a bit more about why going to church is important to us.
This book is written for children whom going to church doesn't always make sense, particularly when it competes with things they'd rather do, like sleeping in or playing. For these young people, the experience of church often needs to be story-based, or tied to everyday experiences and relationships. This book helps make the experience more concrete and meaningful, and even something to look forward to rather than resist.
