孩子们如何想象上帝？令人惊讶的是，很少有研究人员提出这个问题。在蜡笔画、娃娃游戏、信件和精心设计的采访中，大卫海勒书房里的四十个孩子揭示了丰富的精神意象。虽然海勒确实发现了一些不同的观点归因于年龄，性别和宗教背景（孩子们是犹太人，天主教徒，新教和印度教），他发现了一个令人惊讶的程度，共同的愿景上帝，跨越种族和宗教差异。他还考虑了学校祈祷和宗教心理学的相关问题。
How do children imagine God? Surprisingly, few researchers have asked this question. In crayon drawings, doll-play, letters, and carefully designed interviews, the forty children in David Heller's study reveal a rich array of spiritual imagery. Though Heller does find some differing views attributable to age, gender, and religious background (the children were Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, and Hindu), he discovers to a surprising degree a common vision of God that cuts across ethnic and religious differences. He also considers related issues of school prayer and the psychology of religion.
