Samuel Silverstein stands on the presupposition that eight year olds have a wide and deep interest in spiritual matters. While teaching third grade in a New England school in the early 1950s, the author conducted an experiment for three years. During a period of the day set aside for "creative expression," Silverstein let children explore through stories, drawings, or discussion their experiences with God. The result is an outpouring of sharing as young boys and girls talk about visions of God, out-of-body experiences, and encounters with angels and departed spirits. Silverstein, who recounts two mystical happenings of his own, is receptive to all that he hears.
