Seek­ing the Mys­ti­cal Child: Nur­tur­ing Young Children’s Iden­ti­ty, Faith, and Belief by Danette Lit­tle­ton and Meryl Sole is a unique book that presents insights into children’s unno­ticed spir­i­tu­al worlds. The authors acquired voic­es and por­traits of chil­dren from dif­fer­ing cul­tures through qual­i­ta­tive research. Inter­pre­ta­tions of ancient and con­tem­po­rary Judaism, Chris­tian­i­ty, and Islam pro­vid­ed con­text. This book is for those who desire to under­stand children’s lived expe­ri­ences, seen and unseen, of won­der, awe, and puri­ty of heart. Seek­ers of mean­ing in the lives of chil­dren may find mean­ing for them­selves in Seek­ing the Mys­ti­cal Child: Nur­tur­ing Young Children’s Iden­ti­ty, Faith, and Belief.
