This is the Culminating Insight Into children's inner lives by one of our wisest teachers and child psychiatrists. For more than thirty years Robert Coles has been hearkening to children around the world, recording and absorbing their attitudes toward racial crisis, migration and poverty, hardship and isolation, moral and political stress. In his latest and most profound book, he speaks to and for the religious and spiritual lives of children, whether Christian, Jewish, or Islamic. He evokes from their words and pictures children's views of salvation and righteousness, their experience of God and spirituality, their ways of understanding the ultimate meaning of their lives, both in their own terms and in the ways that the adult world prescribes.
