They Shall Be Called My Children Emmanuel Okami

Jesus said, Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:14). They Shall be Called My Children is a beautiful collection of spiritual lessons and reflections for children, inspired by the Holy Spirit and delivered through the wonderful words of Fr. Emmanuel Okami. Every child should be actively encouraged with their spiritual development from an early age, to enable them to draw closer to God and the kingdom of heaven. Fr. Emmanuel has a natural affinity with youth ministry and recognised the need for structured spiritual support for parents of children who have outgrown the Children's Liturgy. This series of reflections enables the continual development of a child's relationship with the Lord and aids their ongoing education in the Word of God. Fr. Emmanuel has gifted parents a book that works through key spiritual and moral lessons for children, delivered in a style that is personal to the child, easily understandable and gently encouraging. This book will accompany a child through life lessons at home and at school, covering topics from self-esteem to happiness, bullying to bereavement and learning to pray in a way that is meaningful to them. As a child is told in the reflection 'you are special', they are unique and dear to God and God loves them the way they are. This book will help them understand what being a child of God means and give them a robust platform to start off their journey with the Lord.
