As bloggers we alternate between book reviews of theological literature for kids and what we call food-for-thought posts, which is our format for thinking well about and discussing the intersection of faith, books, and children. We touch on everything from celebrating the church year to spiritual formation to reading with children in general. Below is an index of some of our favorite posts!
