Plot

Parents today seem to be at a loss to know how to speak with their children about faith. They want to do something but fear doing theological damage, so they leave the teaching to the church. As a result, their children's knowledge and experience of faith are left to whatever religious education, worship, stewardship, and mission take place in their congregations. Even if these experiences outside the home are high-quality, they are not enough.Making A Home For Faith addresses the how-to's of being faithful parents who, in their words and actions, show what it means to live the Christian faith. Elizabeth Caldwell offers simple, straightforward, solid guidance to help parents monitor and nurture their children's faith development, respond to their children's questions, and present the best possible example of faithful living.
