The Good Shepherd and The Child offers parents and educators a gentle way to enter into and honor the genuine spiritual life of children. The constant message of this book is that children's natural openness to and wonder at God s presence can be nurtured by caring adults who listen, pray, and journey with them in faith. By hearing and learning with the heart about the story and image of the Good Shepherd, children can be led to the joy of the Good News. From this simple parable and its message of Jesus' unfailing love for them, children learn how God s unconditional love is part of their world--in the family, in school, and in church.

Review

I honestly believe that this work should be made available to every parent. It is excellent in providing parent guidelines. At a certain point I was no longer reading, I was living the words off the page! It surely is a source of nourishment. --Mrs. Chris Smith, Coordinator, Salesian Cooperators of Toronto, Rexdale, Ontario

I see The Good Shepherd and The Child as the guidebook parents, teachers, and parish catechists have been hoping for! Straightforward in style, faithful to its scriptural grounding, and admirably clear in structure... --M.J. Marrocco, Ph.D., Director, Continuing Education Division, University of St. Michael's College, Toronto, Ontario

A magnificent book which I am using for school students, as well as children my friends have.
Combining this books advice with the little models of the good shepherd and sheepfold, enables even little 4 year old s to understand deep truths about God

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2009
A must read for anyone interested in the CGS program. It provides both a nice overview of the philosophy of the program and describes the nuts and bolts of presenting some of the major concepts. Not a how-to manual by any means.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book for Parents & Grandparents
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2005
This is a WONDERFUL book. I'm a Sunday School teacher, and I reccomend this book to both parents and grandparents who ask about things they can do in the home to support the faith of their children. The book provides background on the spiritual life of young children, and examples of things that can be done and how to do them - family rituals, children's prayer spaces, etc. It's a great resource and an inspiring read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful guide for CGS
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2005
I am currently using this book as part of my studies while I am in the training for the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. It is as well organized as it can be, being that everything in the program is SO inter-connected. Others who have read this book with no previous experience with the Catechesis are provided with a wonderful insight and some background information. I highly recommend this book and the program itself!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Good Shepherd and the Child: A Joyful Journey
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2001
This book was an excellent help to me in planning how I can introduce the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd to my religious education class. It is simple to follow and easily explained. I bought a second copy to give to my daughter to use with her daughters ages 3 and 5 to introduce them to the wonder and beauty of the Good Shepherd and the Mass. All around our parish I have been recommending it to parents of preschoolers to help them bring the children into the celebration of Mass but also to help them educate their little ones using the parables of Jesus.
