This review is from: Raising Children to Adore God: Instilling a Lifelong Passion for Worship (Paperback)

this book has great advise on nuturing your children's faith. It talks about how worhip has to become internal for it to last. Too many people think taking their kids to church once a week is enough. Parents must worhip the Lord continuously and model vituous behavior. If you are a Christian parent I can't think of many things more important than teaching your children to adore God.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must-read" for engaged parents, January 9, 2010

This review is from: Raising Children to Adore God: Instilling a Lifelong Passion for Worship (Paperback)

Parents can no longer expect their children to embrace faith and love the Lord primarily from Sunday School and other church activities. Unintentional parenting just won't cut it - for our kids to survive childhood with a Christian worldview and a heart for God, we must, as parents, be very intentional in prayer and action, and have worship as a focus in our homes and families. This book is an amazing resource to help parents do that. I can't recommend it highly enough.
