You may have checked out Children’s Literature: A resource for Ministry on my bloglist on the Worshiping With Children blog. It is a wonderful resource that has grown over the years and now has moved. It is now Storypath: Connecting Children’s Literature with Our Faith Story. Find it at Storypath. Change the address in your files if you need to.
Over the last three years Storypath
has become a rather large collection of reviews of children’s books with faith
connections. There is a book review from
a faith perspective for each of the non-psalm texts of each Sunday of the
Revised Common Lectionary (and a list of books related to the psalms in
general). Books are chosen for use in
both teaching and worship and some of them clearly work better in teaching
situations. Many however have a worship
connection. You see me pointing to them
frequently with suggestions about how to use them in congregational
worship. Sometimes a book on this list
will remind me of another book that also connects. (Mental jogs can be critical!) Those of you who have used the site before
will appreciate the slicker search program of the new site.
One heads up: Some of the
books on the site are not readily available.
I find lots of them in my large public library system. But, if you have to order a book, often you
will have to order from slower to mail companies (say the back-up marketers on
Amazon.com). So look ahead. There is nothing more frustrating than seeing
what looks like the perfect worship resource and not being able to get it in
time.
