After the spiritual highs of a Christian retreat, it can seem like the rest of the year is spiritually downhill until the next conference or retreat. But what if there was a way to help make your faith life defy this downward spiral? What if you could leave the retreat and watch your spiritual life increase over the following year? Here, youth pastor Bob Wallington practically sets out how you can make your faith come alive once you're back into the regular routine of school, homework and church on Sundays. In bitesize chunks, Bob explores ways of reading the Bible, taking time to reflect on God, asking for prayer, developing a prayer life and getting involved with church. Filled with positive feedback from young people who have tried Bob's methods, he challenges the idea that your faith life doesn't have to get worse once the conference is over - it can get better!

Spirituality is increasingly acknowledged to be an essential part of child development. David Hay argues for the inclusion of spiritual awareness as a cross-curricular element in the school syllabus to promote the development of morality and social cohesion. While culturally constructed pressures and the decline in institutional religion have led to the suppression of spiritual expression, children are, the author maintains, capable of profound and meaningful beliefs from an early age. A three-year research study into young children's spirituality and its survival value informs Hay's view that spirituality in education needs to overcome traditional approaches and should adopt a theory of spirituality that includes religion but is not confined to it. This stimulating book will encourage educators, parents and others involved in teaching children to consider new approaches to foster children's natural spiritual development.

In the last decade alone, the world has changed in seismic ways as marriage equality has been ruled on by the supreme court, social justice issues such as #metoo and BlackLivesMatter have arisen, and issues of immigration and deportation have come to the forefront of politics across the globe. Thus, there is a need for an updated text that shares strategies for combining canonical and young adult literature that reflects the changes society has - and continues to - experience. The purpose of our collection is to offer secondary (6-12) teachers engaging ideas and approaches for pairing young adult and canonical novels to provide unique examinations of topics that teaching either text in isolation could not afford. Our collection does not center canonical texts and most chapters show how both texts complement each other rather than the young adult text being only an extension of the canonical. Within each volume, the chapters are organized chronologically according to the publication date of the canonical text. The pairings offered in this collection allow for comparisons in some cases, for extensions in others, and for critique in all.
