Williamson

Author     Williamson, Denise J., 1954-
Title     Quiet times with active preschoolers : activity devotions for families with young children / Denise J. Williamson.
Imprint Minneapolis : Augsburg, 1989.
Description 144 p. ; 20 cm.
Note     Bibliography: p. 141-144.
Summary This book doesn’t rehash adult-level sermon material.  It gives practical, hands-on, realistic devotion ideas for parents and teachers of active preschoolers. This offers creative and fun ways to introduce Biblical truths to little ones. The book substitutes the notion of ‘preaching’ to youngsters with the more effective approach of demonstrating these truths through actions and familiar objects. The book is concisely written and may be read quickly. Devotions are rated by both appropriate age and the level of activity. There is also a special section on “Learning Experiences for Active Preschoolers.”
Subject Families — Prayers and devotions.
Preschool children — Prayers and devotions.
