Dès leur plus jeune âge, dès que le langage se met en place de façon plus complexe, les enfants posent spontanément des questions philosophiques. Les "Pourquoi ?" d'abord, et puis vers trois-quatre ans, des questions plus ciblées sur le sens de la vie et de la mort, sur leur relation aux autres et au monde en général. Cet ouvrage permet d'accompagner les enfants dans ce questionnement enfantin tout en faisant référence à des auteurs classiques qui avaient déjà abordé les mêmes questions fondamentales.

God does not change like shifting shadows. We know that. He is God. That would be whimsical, undependable. But like any truly loving person, God changes his mind and his heart based on relationships. Right back with Noah and Flood, the very beginning of the Bible and of creation, look what God tells us: ‘The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become… The Lord regretted that he had made human beings, and his heart was deeply troubled.’ (Genesis 6:5-6) The Lord regretted something he did. Something that he told us earlier he thought was ‘good’. (Genesis 1:31) ...
