Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Many parents find it easier to talk to their children about sex and other intimate matters than to answer questions about God, prayer, good, and evil. In fact, parents may feel they don't know the answers to such questions for themselves, much less for their young children. In Teaching Your Children About God, Rabbi David Wolpe shows Jewish parents how to openly explore the idea of God with their children. Through poignant anecdotes and practical exercises, Wolpe teaches how parents can guide children in the practice of prayer and create an atmosphere in which children feel comfortable questioning and wondering about God, life, and death. Wolpe also offers invaluable insights into children's spiritual needs, reveals the powerful effect faith can have on a child's self-esteem, and enables parents to understand their children's fears, dreams, and hopes. Perhaps most important, this wise and potentially life-changing book shows parents who may feel something missing In their own spiritual lives that it is possible to nourish their own souls even as they nurture their children's.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Teaching Your Children About God
I really enjoyed this book. David J. Wolpe is a wonderful Author. The first book I ever read of his was " In Speech and In Silence: The Jewish Quest for God" , it was a little difficult, because of the vocab,but it taught me a lot in my search of understanding faith in God from the Jewish point of view. "Teaching Your Children About God" is another masterpiece. This tells you in detail,from using the first angle of a childs imagination to teach them about the Lord, To common aspects of God we should ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Absolutely wonderful...
I first became aware of Rabbi Wolpe through his television appearances. He is frequently a commentator on the programs "Ancient Almanac", "Mysteries of the Bible," and other religious programs produced for the Discovery and History Channels. I have always found him remarkably eloquent, insightful, and wise. I checked this book out of my local library after the birth of my first child. Although I am not Jewish, I cannot imagine finding a better resource for how to talk, one day, to my children about ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wolpe's approach may be Jewish, but you don't have to be!
The wisdom Wolpe offers in this gem of a book transcends Judaism, and really offers creative ways for parents of any religion to open their children's minds (and their own!) to the basic concepts of a loving God who created the world and cares about what we do and what happens to us. It also paves the way for exploration of difficult issues like suffering and unfairness in the world.

Wolpe never gets preachy; rather, he suggests ways to create shared moments with your child not just to teach ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Incredible and inspiring.
This is a must read for anyone who has questions on how to interpret religion for children
