Review Quotes

"Dr. Berryman's dedication to children's spirituality shines through in the reimagined Volume 8 of Godly Play, where his commitment to inclusivity and safety creates a welcoming space for every child's spiritual growth. He has done what most don't--revisiting his work to ensure its continued relevance and setting a remarkable standard in nurturing and inspiring both teachers and students for generations to come."

"From the beautifully updated art and Equity Audit-guided revised language for "Knowing Jesus in a New Way" and "The Greatest Parable," to the new stories included, like "Jesus and the Women," this new edition of Volume 8 is a gift for Godly Play practitioners and their circles!"

"The stories contained in this revised version of Volume 8 poignantly invite those in Godly Play story circles to experience, hear, and wonder about the life of Jesus and those in the early church. I am especially excited to see the stories of Mary, Jesus' mother, and other women who interacted with Jesus and his life story included in this volume."
