From Kate Shellnutt, editorial director of news: One of our articles today discusses research around kids’ innate sense of God from their youngest years. For many of us who spend lots of time around little ones, we don’t need a psychologist to tell us what they themselves profess. |

I remember telling my kid at age three, "Remember how God loves you?," and he interjected, "No! God doesn’t just love me! God loves every people." |

Another editor at CT, Angela Lu Fulton, shared how her son asked her husband what shalom means. After her husband explained that "it is peace from God, and he can give it to us even when we are scared," her son replied, "So we can have shalom today? Even every day?" |
|
And editor Kate Lucky talked about reading the story of the Crucifixion with her toddler, who waits until the Resurrection to declare, "Jesus all better," once he reunites with the disciples. |
|
As much as I love to learn from preachers and scholars and theologians, there is something so profoundly dear about hearing our kids’ perspectives on God and remembering that "anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it" (Luke 18:17). |

Do you struggle with anxiety? If so, you know that self-help cures simply don’t cut it — and sometimes, they make things worse. If you’re looking for something that will cut through the noise and you want to stop fighting your battles with the wrong weapons, pick up a copy of The Search for Shalom. This new book from Will Dickerson explains why so many of us get caught up in culture wars instead of serving as ministers of reconciliation, nurture grudges instead of finding forgiveness, and live in the rubble of broken relationships. |
|
Kirkus Reviews describe it as "a well-researched, distinctly Christian guidebook for finding peace in an era of violence and anxiety." How can we stop living in a state of war and find true peace? Find the answer as you read The Search for Shalom. |

The Christian story shows us that grace often comes from where we least expect. In this issue, we look at the corners of God’s kingdom and chronicle in often-overlooked people, places, and things the possibility of God’s redemptive work. We introduce the Compassion Awards, which report on seven nonprofits doing good work in their communities. We look at the spirituality underneath gambling, the ways contemporary Christian music was instrumental in one historian’s conversion, and the steady witness of what may be Wendell Berry’s last novel. All these pieces remind us that there is no person or place too small for God’s gracious and cataclysmic reversal. |
