| From Publishers Weekly Child psychiatrist Coles interviews children from various cultural and religious backgrounds to find out what God means to them and how God fits into their lives. "The children， most around the age of 10， respond with fervency and depth that confirm Coles's close， respectful attention，" said PW. Illustrated. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc. From Library Journal Pulitzer prize-winning Harvard child psychiatrist Coles， a social scientist and prolific writer of books dealing with children's perceptions of poverty， moral and political stress， and crisis， shares his research regarding children's understanding of and reflections on spiritual matters. Inspired by his psychoanalytic training and a conversation with Anna Freud， Coles interviewed in-depth over 500 Jewish， Christian， Islamic， and agnostic children， ages eight to 12， living in North and South America， Europe， Africa， and the Middle East. What Cole delivers， in between thoughtful but nonjargonistic explanations of children's remarks and art work， are detailed， fascinating conversations between an expert interviewer and children struggling to understand God and the contradictions of their religious teachings. Recommended for larger public and college library collections and church/synagogue libraries.
