I appreciated the ideas from two section: it takes a village to make a child
and the special child. However I would also like to know how these two areas
could be expanded to cater for children in the era of HIV/AIDS. Im also interested
in expanding the concept of godmother and godfather especially now that there
are many preamature deaths of parents even within the church. orphans

Iam/was a single parent for over 17 years. My "baby" just turned 18 and I thank
God none of my children got involved with gangs, drugs, or ended up in jail
for anything. Obviously this book doesn't cover single parenthood. For me, it
would have been nice if my ex paid the court ordered child support, or if the
churches I had attended offered to help out once in awhile with transportation,
groceries, paying the rent or utilities once in a while. Something. Anything.
Children shouldn't be leading. Adults should be.

Simple guidelines rooted in the living Christian tradition of the past, but
prophetic and profound for today as well.

Arnold is intelligent and well-read, yet he writes with simplicity and
directness. His book is a profound study of children, and of the way they
reflect God’s kingdom.

Reading Arnold is like discovering the “pure strain” of Christ’s teachings
before the “yes/but” rationalizations of modernity corrupted them…This is a
book about children as God intended.

A gift to the heart…Reminds us that children are to be revered as teachers
because they teach us as no one else can how to unlearn the lessons that
keep us from being children.

This book should stand beside the likes of Spock and Brazleton as a “must

value, reverence and preciousness of each child.
