Nineteen new and revised stories that invite children to enter into a deeper relationship with God. Revised and expanded, The Complete Guide to Godly Play, Volume 8 offers new concepts, new terminology, new illustrations, and a new structure —all of which stem from more than fifteen years of using Godly Play® with children. Based on the Montessori method, Godly Play uses purposeful telling of stories, engaging materials, and the community of children to encourage children to seek and find their own answers to faith questions. In the process, children form deeper, more spontaneous, and more playful relationships with God. This volume features resources for telling nineteen new or thoroughly revised stories, along with take-home resources for parents and families. Included in this volume are: · The Greatest Parable—Jesus · Jesus and Jerusalem: The Story of Holy Week · Mary, the Mother of Jesus · Knowing Jesus in a New Way · The Church · The Liturgical Synthesis Revisions to each story focus on inclusion and are the result of consultations across the diverse Godly Play community. New parent pages for each story offer opportunities for families to continue to discuss each lesson. An appendix introduces the Godly Play approach and offers an overview of stories across all eight Godly Play volumes.
