From the Revolutionary War forward, Irish immigrants have
contributed significantly to the construction of the American
Republic. Scholars have documented their experiences and explored
their social, political, and cultural lives in countless books.
Offering a fresh perspective, this volume traces the rich history
of the Irish American diaspora press, uncovering the ways in which
a lively print culture forged significant cultural, political, and
even economic bonds between the Irish living in America and the
Irish living in Ireland. As the only mass medium prior to the
advent of radio, newspapers served to foster a sense of identity
and a means of acculturation for those seeking to establish
themselves in the land of opportunity. Irish American newspapers
provided information about what was happening back home in Ireland
as well as news about the events that were occurring within the
local migrant community. They framed national events through Irish
American eyes and explained the significance of what was happening
to newly arrived immigrants who were unfamiliar with American
history or culture. They also played a central role in the social
life of Irish migrants and provided the comfort that came from
knowing that, though they may have been far from home, they were
not alone. Taking a long view through the prism of individual
newspapers, editors, and journalists, the authors in this volume
examine the emergence of the Irish American diaspora press and its
profound contribution to the lives of Irish Americans over the
course of the last two centuries.
Bridging Theory and Practice in Children's Spirituality explores
the different contexts, methods, and situations that influence and
foster a child's spirituality and faith development. Through a
blend of theoretical understanding held in tension with practical
application, it equips those who are in, or being prepared for, the
varied contexts where children are spiritually formed. It
represents a broad range of Christian expression writing from a
Christ-centered perspective that furthers the conversation about
the next steps in children's spirituality and faith development.
Moving beyond the basics of faith nurture and what makes for
effective ministry, this resource deepens our understanding of the
practices in children's lives by bringing together the best of
theory and practice and includes contributions from: Dr. Scottie
May (Wheaton College) Dr. Kevin Lawson (Biola University) Dr. Erik
Carter (Vanderbilt University) John Roberto (Vibrant Faith) Dr.
Dana Kennamer Pemberton (Abilene Christian University) Dr. Shirley
Morganthaler (Concordia University - Chicago) Dr. Holly Catterton
Allen (Lipscomb University) Dr. Robert Keeley (Calvin College and
Calvin Seminary) Dr. Mimi Larson (Wheaton College) Lacy Finn Borgo
( Renovare Institute) and others. Pastors, professors, seminary
students and children's ministry leaders and practitioners all
believe that nurturing a child's spiritual development is
important. Yet often they are unsure about which current trends
should be embraced. This book will help equip these people with the
grounding needed to evaluate trends and with specific suggestions
for moving forward. With short, accessibly written chapters it
helps pastors and leaders stay up to date with current trends and
is an excellent resource for teaching in college and seminary
classrooms.

Children have serious faith questions that require serious answers,
answers that adults often find themselves under-prepared to give.
But the Christian community has a responsibility to help its
children develop a three-dimensional faith--a faith that affects
their heads, their hearts, and their spirits.
"Helping Our Children Grow in Faith" is designed for children's
ministry and worship leaders, Sunday school teachers, and
pastors--as well as parents--who want to nurture the spiritual
development of the children in their lives. It shows how to
integrate children into congregational worship, how to teach them
the Bible but leave room for the mystery of God, and how to
distinguish the difference between faith development and moral
development.
