A "must have" for parenting

This is perhaps the best book I have seen for Christian parents who want to share their faith with their children. It is a "how to do it" manual that every family should have in their library!

good intro book for preschool parents

This book is a good intro book for parents who want to learn about raising their children spiritually. It combines theory, theology, and the practical. It is one of the more recent books on the subject. It is very broad in its audience, so would work for almost any faith. (Evangelical Christians have some better works to choose from.) There are discussion questions at the end of each chapter, so it is potentially good for a small group study. I would recommend this book to preschool parents more than elementary parents. But I would also stipulate that this book is only a starting point.

Every family needs this book!

This is a tremendous book for helping families learn how to teach faith within the home. The chapters guide the reader through ways each family can "make a home for faith" through nurturing the spiritual life of their children. The writing is clear and concise, and there are helpful resources listed in the book as well. A must-read for every family who takes their faith seriously!
