Savoring Childhood - Practical Wisdom for Slowing Down

Grace P. Pouch

Sinopse

Small Steps to Help Children Flourish in a Hurried World
Many children today are caught up in the frantic pace of life, rushed along by forces beyond their control. When kids grow up too quickly and experience life at top speed, they are left distracted, anxious, and struggling to find depth.
The good news is it's possible to help children experience life at a slower pace. In Savoring Childhood, you'll learn how to push back against the demands of our superficial, automatic, and always-on culture as you walk through five essential ways of slowing:

- Slow gratification
- Slow schedules
- Slow media
- Slow consuming
- Slow growing up

Drawn from an average family's experiments with resisting the rush of life and spiritual formation wisdom from voices like Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, Grace Pouch presents practical steps to slow things down so that children can grow deep relational roots, inward character, and a flourishing friendship with God.
With Savoring Childhood, you'll learn how to

- identify what's moving too fast in kids' lives;
- set a pace of life that supports freedom, connection, and depth; and
- implement practical solutions to give children a grounded, non-anxious, and spiritually rich childhood.

God designed childhood to be abundant. Whether in your home, your classroom, or your ministry, you can learn how to partner with God to slow things down so that the children in your life can flourish.

The Underwater Basilica of...

Mark R. Fairchild, Mark Robin...

A Firsthand Look at a Groundbreaking Archaeological Discovery
In 2014, aerial photography revealed a submerged structure beneath the waters of Lake Iznik, near the ancient city of Nicaea. The structure appeared to be in the shape of an ancient basilica church, with a nave, aisles, and an apse pointing to the east. The discovery was named one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in 2014 by the Archaeological Institute of America. Earlier excavations in ancient Nicaea have revealed fourteen Byzantine churches in the city, but none of them can be dated as early as the fourth century.
Biblical scholar and archaeologist Mark Fairchild's work on the archaeological excavations in Turkey reveals what he argues is the likely location of the First Council of Nicaea. The Underwater Basilica of Nicaea includes:

- Beautiful images from the excavation
- Helpful maps from the dig site
- Fascinating insights for a location that could be the birthplace of Christian theology.
