Bringing our Grandchildren to God
Do you want your grandchildren and children to know God the way you do? Do you wonder how to mend their relationships with your church? Or do your grandchildren remind you of the faith and the God whom you once held dear?
The desire to share faith and Sunday worship is at the heart of God's call to spiritual grandparenting. Find out how you can touch young people's lives in grace-filled, but simple ways. Explore suggestions that help grandparents become living signs of God's gentle but persevering love, a love that lasts from one generation to the next. Chapters include reflection questions and activities suitable for an individual or for small group faith-sharing.
