Book excerpt: Children Do Not Live by Macaroni and Cheese Alone. As a parent, you have roughly eighteen years to imprint life's basic lessons onto the heart of your child: from the need to put the milk back in the refrigerator to the value of turning in school assignments on time. Above all, you want your child to have a dynamic, living faith-a rock-solid belief system. How does a parent ascend to such lofty heights while tethered to piles of laundry, unpaid bills, and a yapping dog? It's easier than you may think. Just as Christ did with the disciples, parents impart crucial lessons in the midst of ordinary, everyday life. So, pull up a chair and discover how you can turn seemingly unremarkable, daily moments into opportunities to instill in your child a truly remarkable faith. The Natural Way to Feed Your Child's Spiritual Hunger. Pass the Potatoes. Pass the Meatloaf. Pass the Faith. Since your child was a tiny baby, you have been lovingly providing food for his or her body, stimulation for the mind, love for the heart, and truth for the spirit. Yet it is as you go about the familiar rituals of life-in the very holiness of the mundane-that you may best teach your child about God and His ways. Using the memorable metaphor of the family dinner table-where napkins illustrate the power of forgiveness and placemats protect our tables as Scripture protects our children's souls-author Lori Borgman illustrates how to make the most of the natural teaching times in daily life and find creative, enjoyable ways to interweave spiritual nurture with the struggles and joys of everyday living.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How parents approach the task of passing on religious faith and practice to their children How do American parents pass their religion on to their children? At a time of overall decline of traditional religion and an increased interest in personal “spirituality,” Religious Parenting investigates the ways that parents transmit religious beliefs, values, and practices to their kids. We know that parents are the most important influence on their children’s religious lives, yet parents have been virtually ignored in previous work on religious socialization. Renowned religion scholar Christian Smith and his collaborators Bridget Ritz and Michael Rotolo explore American parents’ strategies, experiences, beliefs, and anxieties regarding religious transmission through hundreds of in-depth interviews that span religious traditions, social classes, and family types all around the country. Throughout we hear the voices of evangelical, Catholic, Mormon, mainline and black Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist parents and discover that, despite massive diversity, American parents share a nearly identical approach to socializing their children religiously. For almost all, religion is important for the foundation it provides for becoming one’s best self on life’s difficult journey. Religion is primarily a resource for navigating the challenges of this life, not preparing for an afterlife. Parents view it as their job, not religious professionals’, to ground their children in life-enhancing religious values that provide resilience, morality, and a sense of purpose. Challenging longstanding sociological and anthropological assumptions about culture, the authors demonstrate that parents of highly dissimilar backgrounds share the same “cultural models” when passing on religion to their children. Taking an extensive look into questions of religious practice and childrearing, Religious Parenting uncovers parents’ real-life challenges while breaking innovative theoretical ground.

Download or read book Your Story Matters written by Leslie Leyland Fields and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your Story Matters presents a dynamic and spiritually formative process for understanding and redeeming the past in order to live well in the present and into the future. Leslie Leyland Fields has used and taught this practical and inspiring writing process for decades, helping people from all walks of life to access memory and sift through the truth of their stories. This is not just a book for writers. Each one of us has a story, and understanding God's work in our stories is a vital part of our faith. Through the spiritual practice of writing, we can "remember" his acts among us, "declare his glory among the nations," and pass on to others what we have witnessed of God in this life: the mysterious, the tragic, the miraculous, the ordinary. With a companion video curriculum from RightNow Media, this is a "why not" book as opposed to a "how to" book. Leslie asks each of us an important question: "Why not learn to tell your story, in the context of the grander story of God?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Need a Foundation That You Can Build Your Life Upon! Many Christians have a limited understanding of basic Bible doctrine, and this lack of knowledge breeds frustration and robs them of many blessings that belong to them as believers. Often they find themselves stumbling in the same areas over and over, missing out on the vibrant Christian life they know they should be experiencing. In this book, Rick Renner puts these frustrations to rest as he guides the reader through the six basic doctrines every believer should know so that he can build his life in Christ on a solid foundation of Scripture and sound doctrine. Rick teaches: Repentance what it is, what it isnt, and how to do it. What is saving faith? Three baptisms in the New Testament. What is the laying on of hands? The doctrines of resurrection and eternal judgment. A transplant that will save your life. The missing link in many churches today and how it is affecting the whole Body of Christ. What you will learn in these pages will help lay a foundation underneath your life or fortify the foundation that has already been laid so that you can live the life of fulfillment and contentment in Christ that God intends for you.
