Godly Play Volume 8

Volume 8 concludes the Complete Guide to Godly Play series. These lessons tie all others together, including "The Greatest Parable-Jesus" (4 lessons), "Knowing Jesus in a New Way," "Jesus and Jerusalem: The story of Holy Week," "The Church" and Mary, Mother of Jesus," plus "The Liturgical Synthesis," which brings together other key lessons and artifacts into a single overarching lesson. Jerome W. Berryman is the founder of Godly Play and has wide experience working with children ages 2-18. He was educated at the University of Kansas, Tulsa University School of Law, and Princeton Theological Seminary. Berryman also holds a diploma from the Center for Advanced Montessori Studies in Bergamo, Italy and is an Episcopal priest. He has written numerous articles and books and presents lectures and workshops throughout the world. Jerome W. Berryman is Senior Fellow of the Center for the Theology of Childhood.

The eight volumes of Godly Play invite children from ages 3 to 12 to enter into a deeper and more spontaneous and playful relationship with God. Based on the Montessori method, Godly Play uses a purposeful telling of lessons and stories, engaging storytelling materials and the community of children themselves to encourage participants to seek and find their own answers to their faith questions.

This unique approach to religious education invites children to wonder about themselves, God and the world in a way that is both playful and meaningful. Godly Play is really a practice of spiritual guidance because it respects the innate spirituality of children and encourages them to use their own curiosity and imagination to experience deeply the joy and mystery of God.

Volume 8 of The Complete Guide to Godly Play includes the following lessons:

The Greatest Parable
Jesus and Jerusalem: The Story of Holy Week
Mary, the Mother of Jesus
Knowing Jesus in a New Way
The Church
The Liturgical Synthesis

It also includes a wealth of capstone insights gleaned from decades of research and practice, as well as an appendix summarizing the foundational literature and describing the entirety of the Godly Play spiral curriculum as it exists today.
