Raising faith-filled kids - Tom McGrath

Family life is a spiritual path
Is your family calendar so jammed that
there's never enough time to "be spiritual"? Maybe you need to think about
spirituality in a new way. Author, editor, and speaker Tom McGrath shows how the
hectic and ordinary moments of family life offer endless opportunities to live
more deeply. This book is full of stories and ideas for parents who care about
their children's souls.
McGrath suggests how we can foster a healthy
spirituality in our children-while tending to our own spirits as well. He
presents many useful lessons and practical strategies for passing on religious
heritage, including:


Introducing children to sacred time

Examining
the image of God we actively (or passively) present to our children

Fostering empathy to build our children's moral character

Learning to pray
creatively as a family

Developing spiritual disciplines as parents

Cultivating a spirit of forgiveness in the home

"If you ever wanted to be
a great and inspiring parent, this book gives you the tools to learn
how."
