Testimonials
“Stories to Light Our Way is a wonderful resource for introducing young people to the wisdom and moral lessons found in the world’s religions and cultures. The stories are presented in ways that allow children to learn about the beliefs and values that have shaped human experience for centuries. The Wisdom Thinkers Network’s approach to story-telling is an educationally and constitutionally sound way for public schools to build good character and encourage cross-cultural understanding.”
“I consider Stories to Light Our Way a real gem. Your collection and retelling of key stories from some of our world’s great religious and cultural traditions fills such a need as our world grows smaller, though not necessarily kinder. The fact that your work aims explicitly at fostering moral and spiritual growth – at furthering that kindness – makes it all the more meaningful. You have done us all a service, and I want to express my gratitude on behalf of CSEE and of a number of schools, and young people in them, that I know will benefit from your efforts.”
I think extraordinarily highly of what you’ve created in terms of the set of resources and the teaching and learning process. I am aware of scores of different SEL programs, characteristics and what you’re doing I think, is simply superb. I think it’s helping kids not only develop sense of social and emotional and moral understandings and skills, but it’s but it’s engaging. It’s just it’s a terrific program
