Conversations with Children

Author: Sister Magdalen

Description:
“Conversations with Children” by Sister Magdalen is a practical and encouraging guide for parents, teachers, and catechists, showing how to communicate the Orthodox faith to children and young people.

A distinctive feature of the book is its use of real conversations with children on topics from faith and prayer to morality and science, demonstrating how to address questions honestly while remaining faithful to Orthodox teaching. Sister Magdalen treats children as capable thinkers, including dialogues for older teenagers, showing that complex ideas can be communicated clearly with patience and respect.

For newcomers and laity with children or younger family members, the book is particularly helpful because it provides concrete examples of how to engage children and young adults in faith: How to listen and respond thoughtfully, and how to make Orthodox teachings meaningful in daily life. It is both a practical resource and an encouraging guide for nurturing young faith with clarity and love.
