As a Christian, you want to do whatever it takes to ground your children in the faith. But if you weren’t raised in a Christian home, sometimes you don’t know what to do since you don’t have the foundations needed. If you are the first generation in your family to have a relationship with Christ, then Building the Christian Family You Never Had is the book you’ve been looking for.

 

Author Mary DeMuth understands firsthand what it’s like to lack role models of Christian parents. She experienced a nightmare growing up, and can relate to the most horrific of circumstances. Building the Christian Family You Never Had, you will learn how to:

 

• Shield your children from the negative influence of family members who undermine your values

Cope with criticism and objections to your faith-based parenting decisions

Honor (and forgive) your parents without endorsing their behavior

Find positive parenting mentors

Plus much much more.

 

Building the Christian Family You Never Had is a must for anyone who wasn’t raised in a Christian home and yet hopes to raise their children right. I would recommend this book for pastors, counselors, church libraries, and personal libraries. $13.99. 207 pages.
