A Pilgrim People: Learning Through the Church Year
John H. Westerhoff

Our journey to God leads us through the cycle of the church year?from Advent and Christmas to Easter and the season called "ordinary time"?as we tell and retell God's story and make it the story we live by. In A Pilgrim People John Westerhoff looks at ...

Will Our Children Have Faith?

2 reviews
John H. Westerhoff

Morehouse Publishing, 2000

Critically important for parents, clergy, educators.
Will Our Children Have Faith? was first published in 1976 and became a classic work on Christian education. Now it has been revised and updated to include a new foreword, chapter updates, and an afterword that incorporates John Westerhoff's thinking (and rethinking) of the issues in Christian education that have arisen in the last quarter century. Westerhoff points out that Christian education ...

Spiritual Life: The Foundation for Preaching and Teaching

5 reviews
John H. Westerhoff

Westminster John Knox Press, 1994

A spiritual experience...
Do not be fooled by its size - good things come in small packages. In a mere 78 pages of text, John Westerhoff creates a wonderful basis for reflection and meditation on the importance of spirituality in teaching and preaching. I read this book in connection with a course on Christian education, but one of the interesting parts of the idea of this book is that it transcends narrow confines ...

Sensing Beauty: Aesthetics, the Human Spirit, and the Church
John Dykstra Eusden, John H. Westerhoff

Pilgrim Press, 1998

The authors present a view of aesthetics and Christianity that is an alternative to movements of post-modernity. Going beyond philosophical conundrums, their work probes what aesthetics reveals about beauty and truth, and how it affects the human spirit and the church.

Living Faithfully: As A Prayer Book People

3 reviews
John H. Westerhoff

Morehouse Publishing, 2005

By the book...
As Westerhoff states at the beginning of this book, it is difficult to define an Episcopalian (and even more difficult to define the more general category, Anglican, of which 'Episcopalian' is a subset). 'Yet, in spite of all our differences, we have one outstanding characteristic: We are a prayer book people.' It was a running joke at my seminary (an ecumenical seminary with a very small ...

John H. Westerhoff

Seabury Classics, 2004

Integrated Christian Education
"Each new book of John Westerhoff's cements my belief that he is one today's prophets. This latest work is an exciting synthesis of family, story, ritual, and church that shows us what we can be as a people of God when we integrate our ministries. I highly recommend it for all in parish ministry who are trying to put it all together and create the living faith community for which we yearn." -- ...

McGuffey and his readers: Piety, morality, and education in nineteenth-century America

1 review
John H Westerhoff

Abingdon, 1978

Some interesting historical information
We recently got a set of the McGuffey Readers. It was kind of a surprise to find that the set we had was very different from a single copy of the second reader we had. So I was curious about the history of the Readers. Basically a couple of businessmen in the west (being Cincinnati at that time) contacted McGuffey and asked if he would create some readers. Up until then most of the readers ...
