"My Faith Journal" was originally purchased as a gift for my 9 year old secret pal. As I gleaned its pages I too began to reflect on its prompts for faith milestones. This journal was obviously written for 9-12 year olds and its illustrations soften otherwise scary memories and helps make it easier to journal responses to the prompts included on each page. The book is published in two cover formats (one for a girl and one for a boy). I bought several of each and have since sent them as gifts for a new single mom and her infant son; my secret pal who has leukemia (he is 9 years old); a little girl who has a new baby sister; newlyweds; and I am keeping a few for my own grandchildren. "My Faith Journal" will prove invaluable for our church confirmation classes this new year and for our children's choir, too. This book will help some children conquer the monsters in their lives with the stroke of a pen. I highly recommend this book for children and the little child in each of us. The journaling will help us conquer the big monsters that hide inside us all.
I bought this book in 1999 to help my eight year old son work through the mixed emotions, grief, and spiritual journey he was having over the death of his four year old sister.The journal was a remarkable tool! Finding elementary-aged tools to help children isolate, articulate, and work through the gamut of feelings that come from any type of loss is difficult. And, in my opinion, I have not yet seen this books equal.Every couple of pages address a different emotion. There are promptings to help the child think about how they feel about each specific emotion as well as scripture verses to give encouragement in those areas as well. Some topics are "My Journey through Saddness", "My Journey through Anger", and "My Journey through Friendship".I found this journal very helpful and still have our son's tucked away with the precious memorabilia of his childhood.
This book promotes great faith discussions with my eight year old son. Hard to find as it's now out of print, but worth the search.
