The Christian Grandparent

Fulfilling Your God-Given Role

By: MICHAEL SHAUGHNESSY

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

What if the most important thing you will ever do in your entire life is still in front of you? What if, like Lois in the bible, it is passing your faith onto your grandchildren. A lot of grandparents are concerned about the spiritual welfare of their grandchildren but feel helpless to do much. Some have grandchildren who are barely trained in basic morality: honesty, unselfishness, reliability, and kindness. Others have tweens who don’t know the Lord’s Prayer yet. They have never been to church, and their only understanding of Jesus comes from mall music at Christmas. They put Jesus Christ in the same category as Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, and Bing Crosby. And some have a Timothy who wants to know everything he can about faith. Regardless, passing on your faith is an assignment you have from God. Deuteronomy 4:9 says, Only take heed, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; make them known to your children and your children’s children.
The Christian Grandparent presents a bold new vision for effective grandparenting. You can be a missionary to your children's children.
"But..."
If that word came to your mind, stop right there and instead say, "I need to buy this book!"
