How Like an Angel Came I Down: Conversations With Children on the Gospels

During the 1830s at his school in Boston, Alcott held an extraordinary series of conversations on such themes as spirit, consciousness, love, humility, conscience, the Holy Ghost, and 'the knower'. Those conversations make up this book. Read the words of these six-to ten-year-olds, and allow yourself to learn from their wisdom and hear with wonder what is possible when we approach children with humility and respect.
