Helping Kids See Beyond Their Backyard
“This book guides parents, grandparents and caregivers as they seek to help children grow as disciples of Christ—disciples who care about others and seek justice in the world. With specific examples, Jan opens for the reader a new world of possibilities where making a difference for others becomes a way of life.”
– Mary Alice Gran
Director, Children’s Ministries
General Board of Discipleship,
The United Methodist Church
“A wonderful antidote to both ‘compassion fatigue’ and the frustrations of Christian parenting in a selfish society. Johnson’s book offers practical ideas and valuable encouragement for reaching out.”
– Ronald J. Sider
President
Evangelicals for Social Action
“Jan Johnson gently nudges the heart of a mother, who imprints compassion into the hearts of her children. In this book, she tells us how to teach kids to care about others., which always teaches them about God. What greater legacy could we leave our children?”
– Carol Kuykendall
Director of MOPS International (Mother of Preschoolers)
“Growing Compassionate Kids is a wonderful blend of thoughtful teaching, compelling illustrations, and practical suggestions. It is a work that is very much needed in our present day Christian culture and, if implemented, can change the coming generation. I highly recommend it to all who are serious about spiritual formation.”
