Books about Children at Risk
Understanding God's Heart for Children
Based on Viva Network's 2005 Cutting Edge conference,
this book delves into the theological foundation for ministry
to children at risk by tracing the biblical narrative
from Genesis to Revelation. Practitioners, teachers, and
theologians develop seven key themes that provide an overview
of a kingdom approach describing our responsibility to,
for, and with children—reminding us that children are
a key element in the human experience.
