Adults Need to Read This.

I loved reading A CHANCE AT CHILDHOOD AGAIN. Most of the principles that the writer talks about are things that I believe and have been trying to incorporate into my life for years. However, Alan Wright gives better actual real-life examples to support his statements than anything I could have thought up on my own. Basically the premise of the book is that adults could learn a lot from watching kids. Jesus said that to inherit the kingdom of Heaven, we must become like a child. I know a lot of people who just don't understand that statement. They try to ignore it, supporting passages where the Apostle Paul talks about becoming a man and putting away childish things. What these people fail to recognize is that Jesus and Paul were not in conflict with each other. There is a difference between being childish and being childlike and that is the key. When a person is childlike, their life becomes enriched in ways that others only think about. A person who has a childlike faith is full of wonder, mystery, and warmth. Their life stands out from the rest. I have often been accused of being "like a little kid". I wouldn't want it any other way. Perhaps by reading A CHANCE AT CHILDHOOD AGAIN, you'll begin to put that childlike playfulness in your own life and begin to see things differently.
