Everyone Should Read This Book

Revisado: 10-24-23

Everyone can really benefit from reading this book. Whether you are a church leader, a parent, an adult living with trauma, a childless adult, a teacher, or non-religious person, everyone can learn something profound from this book's lessons, examples and research. I myself am a childless adult who doesn't attend any church, but this book taught me a lot about how I should interact with children and be sympathetic to their plights, whether they are deeply hurting, are neurodivergent, or just plainly being a kid who wants to relate to an adult and tell their story. It also taught me a lot about myself and the experiences I went through as a kid and how I behaved/reacted, and how those experiences still affect me to this day.

The stories this book follows and the churches that implemented affective methods for helping children (and their guardians) gives me a lot of hope that there is a church that is welcoming for people of all walks of life. The trauma these children went through were heartbreaking and brought me to tears, but I was equally moved to tears hearing how the church leaders helped those children rather than turning them away or giving up on them. The bible passages were extremely appropriate and eye-opening. I can't recommend this book enough to literally everyone. If you have a child struggling with trauma, or maybe you are that child now an adult, or just simply are someone who struggles interacting with children, this book will be an immense help to you and those around you.

I almost wish this book was a required reading for all potential church leaders!!
