Aline Wolf includes discussion about such important issues as: What is the meaning of the word spirit? How is nurturing the spirit fundamentally different from teaching a specific religion? How can we nurture the spirit in non-sectarian classrooms? How can teachers become spiritually aware? and How can we explain spiritual nurturing to parents? This book is also available in Spanish.
