This book addresses a previously ignored yet hungry market. The primary audience includes parents, those in their twenties and thirties, who did not grow up in Christian homes or whose religious families failed to demonstrate healthy, grace-filled relationships. Other buyers include young couples who hesitate to plunge into parenting because of their lack of positive role models, individuals involved in ministry, and counselors seeking a useful tool to help clients deal with the dysfunction of their past.
You're willing to do whatever it takes to ground your children in a faith your parents never embraced. Or maybe you grew up in an outwardly religious home that lacked a foundation of Christian grace and moral values. If you're the first generation in your family to embrace a relationship with Christ but aren't sure how to give your children a foundation of faith, find guidance in Building the Christian Family You Never Had.
Author Mary E. DeMuth understands firsthand the fears, frustrations, and anxieties of those who lack role models of faith-based parenting. In Building the Christian Family You Never Had she provides needed encouragement, practical tools, and crucial strategies. You'll learn how you can...

find positive parenting mentors
This inspiring, down-to-earth guide will enable you to provide a spiritual legacy of security and strength for your children as you lead the way through Building the Christian Family You Never Had.
