The Spiritual Life of Children
By Robert Coles
ow do children view the meaning of life? How do they perceive death v What
is their vision of • god?" "THE SPIRITUAL LIFE OF CHILDREN.” by Pulit/er
Pri/e winning Robert Coles gives unique insights into these and other topics
This is the last volume in Coles' monumental "Children of Crisis” series Previous books
dealt with poverty, migration and racial prejudices Preparation for the book included over
1000 interviews with children of different ages and backgrounds.
In the seven years it took to complete and assemble the material, children spoke candidly
about their fears and beliefs of god. the devil, dying and sickness, and recovery Especially
insightful are the drawings and paintings which depict the visual support of the children s
theories and beliefs. Coles worked a great deal with art as a means of expression of ideas
His talent as editor lies very much in his non judgmental comments, and his ability to get
even opposing groups of kids involved in very stimulating discussions
Perhaps the best aspect of this original work is its unique balance between a highly accessi
ble. easy to read book, and a very important scholarly work on the nature of children s phi

Chapters include: "The Face of God." "Islamic Surrender." "Jewish Righteousness, and
"The Voice of God
