Home Grown Handbook for Christian Parenting (eBook, ePub)

For a Christian parent, some battles aren't worth fighting—like whether your three-year-old can wear her plastic tiara to church. But other questions might keep you up at night: How can I help my kids trust God when they're worried or bad things happen? How do I explain tough things like death and divorce? Is it OK that we don't have family devotions? How can I make our home a place where my kids' faith will grow? This handbook gives you practical, real-world advice about how to help your kids know and love God—and how to build a home where you can grow in faith together. Author Karen DeBoer is the mother of four, an early childhood educator, and a curriculum editor who's been involved in children's ministry for more than 25 years. Her practical approach to Christian parenting, combined with the insights of a panel of experts like Elizabeth Caldwell and Karen-Marie Yust, make this book a valuable resource. It is also a great resource for adult classes.
