A Child's Heart and a Child's Dreams - review
A Child's Heart and a Child's Dreams
Highly Recommended: A beautiful book, one
that every parent and child should read. So eloquently Sri Chinmoy says, "On
today's child depends tomorrow's future - on a child's heart and a
child's dreams."
In this inspiring book Sri Chinmoy offers
practical advice on a subject that is not only an idealist's dream, but
a concerned parent's lifeline: fostering your child's spiritual life,
watching them grow up with the love of God and a heart of self-giving.
Once
again Sri Chinmoy uses his question and answer format to bring to the
reader his deepest love and concerns for children's spiritual
upbringing. As is the tradition in the East, now here in the West we
have a chance to understand the lifetime benefits of raising children
with the spiritual awareness of compassion and oneness for their world-family.
With simple guidelines for parents Sri Chinmoy has focused on the
importance of spiritually nurturing children with an
open-hearted understanding of God, and their relationship with Him in
their love and concern for others; essential components for their
future contentment and happiness.
