Download or read book Grandparenting with a Purpose written by Lillian Ann Penner and published by Cross Books Pub. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe your grandchildren are living with you. Maybe they're thousands of miles away. Their parents may be spiritually rebellious or simply neglectful of the family's spiritual life, failing to make prayer and church attendance a regular part of their routine. But even if your grandchildren's parents have established a strong Christian home, busy schedules, jobs, parenting, and all the distractions of today's world conspire to distract or even destroy the family. How can you, as a grandparent, help? God gives grandparents a sacred trust an opportunity to imprint another generation with the message of his faithfulness. You can stand in the gap by being a godly example for your grandchildren and by praying for them. Even grandparents who already pray regularly for their grandchildren will discover creative suggestions for making the practice even more meaningful. From cell phones to photo prayer journals, you'll find tools that work for you and for your grandchildren. Author Lillian Ann Penner provides specific examples of prayers to help you get started, such as alphabet prayers, prayers based on special scriptures, and prayers for certain holidays. You may even widen the circle, praying for other children in your life, for children who have parents in the military, and for the adults who influence your grandchildren. Regardless of how far away your grandchildren are, praying for them can bridge the distance between you and leave them with an inheritance more precious than gold.

In an insightful memoir, PJ Karr, Ph.D., captures our need for solace and enlightenment within the heartfelt letters her parents exchanged during World War II, anniversaries, and birthdays. Karr’s mother gifted her with the letters prior to her death in 2013. “Share our love and family letters in your next book.” She had read Karr’s book genres, but gave special encouragement to write this memoir for today’s world in need of love. Tucked away in her closet until 2017, PJ finally accepted it was time to unearth and showcase the efficacy of her parents’ unconditional love. Through her parents’ writings, Karr draws back readers to chaotic times in American history and war horrors consuming news headlines. As Karr’s young father-to-be wrote in secret code of his whereabouts, her mother consoled him with her devout letters. As their letters lead us through a life’s journey together, JJ and Margaret bring three children into the world, celebrate wonderful occasions, and grow old, never once ceasing to love each other as fully as they did in the beginning—ultimately, inspiring others to do the same. Spellbound: A Memoir shares heartfelt letters between endearing soulmates as they progress through life, proving that unconditional love is the secret to happiness, even during the most disquieting and chaotic times.
