“Jude Caspersz’ 5-minute meditation: Guided Christian reflections for children is a much-needed and skilfully written contribution that should be warmly welcomed by all who are associated with communicating the Christian faith to newer generations. Based upon years of experience, the book is a fine introduction to the nature and purpose of Christian meditation. Most useful for educators, be they parents or teachers, are the concrete and practical introductions to meditation and finally, the provision of texts that can be used fruitfully in this exercise. The educator need not hunt for suitable texts to animate the meditation; they are provided on accompanying CDs. Experience teaches that giving young people the opportunity to reflect on Christian texts can often set alight a beginning faith experience. This manual is a great place to start. It does it all!”

“…The highly practical 5-minute meditation: Guided Christian reflections for children …fills a gap in the current literature in Christian meditation in two important ways. First, it places Christian meditation into the reality of today’s context, including the vast range of meditation approaches available and also the diversity of children in the classroom. Second, it responds to this diversity by establishing meditation within the religious education curriculum. This ensures that meditation is not seen as ‘separate’ practice but rather an intimate part of learning and life.”
