There are so many challenges involved in bringing up children today. It seems like it is scarier than ever to ensure you have a child who has their beacon set in the right direction. Johann Christoph Arnold is confident that diligent parents and educators can set children in the proper direction with proper forethought. He has some ideas that make you think differently and have hope that you can bring your children up right even amidst all the craziness and internet frenzy out there.
If you want to glean insights into how to raise and influence children to be more compassionate and considerate, more courageous and confident, more independent, secure, and unselfish; if you want your children to be more loving and joy-filled, then get reading!” —excerpt from Mark K. Shriver’s Foreword (President of Save the Children Action Network)
Despite
a perfect storm of hostile forces that threaten to deny children a
healthy, happy childhood, courageous parents and teachers can turn the
tide. Yes, we can reclaim childhood, says Johann Christoph Arnold, whose
books have helped more than a million readers through the challenges of
education and family life. In Their Name Is Today, he highlights
drastic changes in the way our society treats children. But he also
brings together the voices of dedicated parents and educators who are
finding creative ways to give children the time and space they need to
grow. Cutting through the noise of conflicting opinions, Arnold takes us
to the heart of education and parenting by defending every child’s
right to the joy and wonder of childhood.
A noted speaker and writer on marriage, parenting, and end-of-life
issues, Arnold is a senior pastor of the Bruderhof, a movement of
Christian communities. With his wife, Verena, he has counseled thousands
of individuals and families over the last forty years, as well as
serving as an advisor at several innovative private schools. Arnold’s
message has been shaped by encounters with great peacemakers such as
Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Dorothy Day, Cėsar Chavez, and
John Paul II. Born in Great Britain in 1940 to German refugees, Arnold
spent his boyhood years in South America, where his parents found asylum
during the war; he immigrated to the US in 1955. He and his wife have
eight children, forty-four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. They
live in upstate New York.
