Reviving the Wonder is an ideal resource for character education programs, leadership classes, and life skills studies. It is valuable for youth ministries, mentoring programs, and youth retreats. The book is packed with ideas, guidelines, and meaningful activities for working with youth. It is especially targeted for students in grades 5-10, and can be easily adapted for other grade levels. Its ultimate purpose is to revitalize young people's hopes, dreams, and beliefs--empowering them to grow up to be healthy and responsible adults. The authors' creative approach allows teachers to integrate many of the Search Institute's 40 Developmental Assets.
