A book from practice for practice! "Faith in the sense of trust in God is for me a resource akin to a stream of water beneath the desert floor." The author aims to encourage young people to "draw from the water of life" themselves. The book is aimed at all those who accompany young people on their journey of faith: religious educators, pastors, deacons, educators, and interested parents. Those who wish to rethink their religious educational actions will find a theoretical reflection on the approach of "guidance for drawing water" in the first part of the book. A vivid presentation of the Rostock long-term study "Understanding God and Relationship with God in Children" illustrates how creative and empirical methods can be used to determine the prerequisites that children bring when entrusted to "accompanying persons.".
