Imbued with a sense of wonder, and a strong connection to the natural world, Laura Alary's books invite young readers to engage with the liturgical seasons of the church year. Breathe is a journey through Ascension, Pentecost, and Ordinary Time.
The day of Pentecost is coming.
The white and gold of Easter
will soon burst into flaming red,
then cool to green.
So begins Breathe: A Child's Guide to Ascension, Pentecost, and the Growing Time.
Breathe explores children's questions: How can Jesus go away, yet promise to be with us always? Can we trust someone who comes and goes so mysteriously?
Moving beyond long ago and far away events, Breathe invites children to wonder about and watch for the presence and work of the Spirit here and now, in practices of prayer and mindfulness, and through acts of justice, generosity, and kindness. Slowly but surely, we discover that we are the body of Jesus now, his way of being in the world. And that whenever we choose the way of love, Jesus is there. Always.
In this poetic, thoughtful text, Laura deftly interweaves biblical stories with subtle invitations for readers to consider how the gentle wind of the Holy Spirit might be at work in their lives today. The text is imaginative, insightful and thoroughly inspirational -- a must for every parent, pastor and children's minister.--Glenys Nellist, author of the Love Letters from God, and Snuggle Time Prayers.
Laura Alary writes in the warm, thoughtful style that has made her books so popular with families who want to encourage their children to think deeply and engage their spiritual imaginations. Breathe is the third book in the Circle of Wonder: Liturgical Year Resource Set. (Click HERE for free downloadable resources)
