This book Presents a detailed description Ot he influence of the Oxford Group movement upon the lives of children. It consists of Stories told by parents of their children finding and being directed by God It has true stories of Children's spiritual experience,How they achieved their spiritual experience and what others can do
Inspired children was written 75 years ago by Olive M. Jones, Formerly President Of the National Education Association.
Miss Jones tells explicity and with a wealth of illustration how to make religion real to children. "Self-exprerssion without God is selffishness;but self expression, God guided is character" says Miss Jones in stating the theme of this book.
This was the first experiment in religious education based on the principles of Christ as practiced and taught by the Oxford Groups It proved to be an outstanding success, Sam Shoemaker, in his introduction stated " They are the happiest children whom i have ever known".
the movement itself died out but most of it's basic principles and procedures live on in the 12 Steps of AA and other Programs. Unfortunately most of the 12 step programs focus on adult issues.
The intention of Healing-Habits.com is to bring to the public a proven methodology of teaching children to find God and be guided by him in their everyday life

Excerpt
Temper is an undesirable attribute children
manifest early and with no known cause except
self will.
Lying
No problem in the home is generally so mishandled as children’s “lies”
As parents erroneously call them. Often a child is converted into
a genuine and habitual liar because parents and teachers fail to
trace the source of what seems to be lies or increase the habit
by wrong methods of correction.
The source in a little child is usually imagination
The first purpose is to show that spiritual
reality is possible for children. Unless it begins in
childhood, it is learned and obtained only through
suffering and struggle.
