A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

People have come to expect sound advice from Johann Christoph Arnold, an award-winning author with over a million copies of his books in print in more than 20 languages. 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. His books include Why Forgive?, Rich in Years, Seeking Peace, Cries from the Heart, Be Not Afraid, and Why Children Matter. Arnold's message has been shaped by encounters with great peacemakers such as Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, César Chavez, and John Paul II. Together with paralyzed police officer Steven McDonald, Arnold started the Breaking the Cycle program, working with students at hundreds of public high schools to promote reconciliation through forgiveness. This work has also brought him to conflict zones from Northern Ireland to Rwanda to the Middle East. Closer to home, he serves as chaplain for the local sheriff's department. Born in 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 United States in 1955. He and his wife have eight children, 42 grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. They live in upstate New York. To learn more visit www.richinyears.com

Revue de presse

A beautiful book that comes to the UK at just the right time. It is essential reading for all who are privileged to live and work with children. Arnold presents many issues but his closing message resonates most strongly: Children gather memories from their earliest years which remain with them,and adults who respect and love children will ensure that they amass a bank of positive memories which shine through and sustain them throughout their lives. --Marion Dowling, Vice President, Early Education

It's all-too-rare to read something so beautifully written, distilling a lifetime s reflection and experience. On every page, there is something which will resonate with every parent, carer and teacher. Often challenging, occasionally provocative, always stimulating and uplifting, Their Name Is Today is a joyous description of childhood, and at its heart, an acclamation of family life. --Anand Shukla, Chief Executive, Family and Childcare Trust

Today, when reports of turmoil, violence, and abuses of power fill the news, Arnold's work is a beacon of hope calling us to remember to be respectful and reverential, to grow a world in which all children are truly loved and their parents thoughtfully supported. Their Name Is Today should be required reading for teachers and policymakers everywhere. --Tricia David, Professor Emeritus of Education, Canterbury Christ Church University
