Ordinary kids. Extraordinary insights. When Children Imagine God lets readers in on captivating conversations with children about the divine. Drawing on interviews with kids from diverse Christian backgrounds, this remarkable book reveals the profound beauty, creativity, and depth of children’s religious imaginations. Written by J. Bradley Wigger, author of the award-winning children’s book Thank You , God  and expert in religious education and childhood studies, this book doesn’t set forth formulas for teaching kids about God. Instead, it offers something far more valuable: the actual voices of children as they grapple with mystery and wonder. Their insights are by turns humbling, moving, and surprisingly perceptive, reminding us that children are more than the future of the church―they have genuine wisdom to offer now. Whether you’re a parent seeking deeper spiritual connection with your child or a church leader reimagining children’s ministry, this book will transform how you approach faith formation. You’ll worry less about what to tell children and spend more time listening to them. You’ll develop a deeper appreciation for the young people in your life and be moved by their engagement with the sacred. When Children Imagine God doesn’t prescribe how kids should think about faith; it celebrates how they are already encountering God in extraordinary ways. J.
