Synopsis

Embrace the invitation of childlike faith. A well-known challenge of Jesus to his followers is to become like little children. But it's often difficult to remember the natural patterns of our childhood selves that enabled us to live freely in God's wonder-filled presence. Is childlike faith simply an unquestioning faith, or is it being present with ourselves in a way that invites healing and wholeness?

Faith Like a Child considers Jesus' invitation to childlike faith and explores seven distinct ways of welcoming the child within. Offering wisdom from years of experience as a spiritual director with both adults and children, Lacy Finn Borgo explores practices to welcome and enliven your childhood self. Offering examples of what becoming like children could look like, Borgo invites you to take Jesus up on his offer to live more deeply into a relationship with God.

As we welcome our childhood selves, we allow God to heal our wounds so we can live in freedom with Jesus as our companion.

Goodreads review by Kristy on July 12, 2023

At times this book was hard for me to read, for I tend to be more serious in matters of religion. It stresses that one must think as a child in faith and to not take everything so seriously. It has many good points, though, on living the christian life and embracing a healthy sense of wonder and hum......more

Goodreads review by Vonda on December 30, 2024

This book offers a heaping spoonful of the word of God, with an added pinch of the mystics and a dash of Richard Rohr, alongside the author’s widely read background and life experiences. Though I’m only giving this book 3 stars, it is not without merit. I found plenty to ponder, as well as encourage......more

3.5 stars, rounded up. We all know that Jesus told his followers that they should have "faith like a child," but what does that mean? Throughout this book, Lacy Finn Borgo shares her perspective on how we can develop a childlike sense of faith by reflecting on our childhood experiences and embracing......more
