Children of a Greater God: Awakening Your Child's Moral Imagination

Believing that children need to be educated morally and culturally, Glaspey proffers a practical lifestyle for parents interested in developing their children's moral imaginations. By drawing on the classics in music, literature, the visual arts and scripture, and by living with parents who set an example themselves, children have the ability, Glaspey believes, to assume right moral values and to embrace Christianity on their own. Himself a parent whose background lies primarily in the areas of intellectual and cultural history, Glaspey presents sound arguments braced with commonsense ideas and substantiated by superb appendices. Followed faithfully, this is a book that will indeed help parents help children to the strong foundation that comes from learning to think for oneself and away from the more shallow footings that come from always being told what to think.
