Including 100 devotions for families, Faith Forward Family Devotional by parenting authors Patrick and Ruth Schwenk equip you to raise faith-filled kids who know, love, and live for God.
You've passed down to your kids your last name, your love, and maybe your sense of humor or favorite hobbies. But have you passed down the most important thing: your faith?
Somewhere between diapers and sippy cups, piano lessons and soccer practice, dating and college searches, even the most well-intentioned family can lose sight of creating a God-centered home. As parents of four, pastor Patrick Schwenk and his wife, Ruth, of The Better Mom blog, understand the challenges—and importance—of raising faith-filled kids.
In Faith Forward Family Devotional, Patrick and Ruth help you pass on your faith with devotions you can do at your own pace as a family. Each devotion features a Bible passage, a teaching that's applicable for kids of any age, key ideas to learn about God and His character, questions to spark family discussion, and a prayer. Faith Forward Family Devotional is aimed primarily at families of kids ages 8–12 but also includes ideas for activities for younger children and recommendations for further study for older kids, so the whole family can join in the devotional gathering.
Faith Forward Family Devotional helps you grow closer to your kids as they grow closer to God. Whatever season of parenting you are in, sharing this devotional time together will help your children nourish a faith that lasts a lifetime.

Bethany House Publishers

Most Christian parents want to pass their faith on to their children. But what, exactly, do we pass on? And how, in the busy activity of life, can we do this? Having worked through these questions while raising their kids, bestselling author and podcaster Ruth Schwenk and her husband, fellow podcaster and pastor, Patrick, offer you a helpful and hopeful family resource. Designed for families with children 6 to 12 years old, every entry in this 90-day devotional includes a key verse, key truth, action step, and prayer. Organized into three sections, this devotional helps parents answer three important questions: What do I want my child to know? What do I want my child to be? And what do I want my child to do? As you walk through these pages together at the end of each day, you will not only instill God's Word in their hearts, but you will equip them to - understand basic theology - develop Christlike character and virtue - discover their unique God-given gifts - live as confident witnesses in the world By God's grace, you can--and will--root your children in faith, raise them in his Word, and release them to live boldly for Jesus!

Bedtime Family Devotional

Your Storm Doesn't Have to Sink You At some point in our lives, we all find ourselves in a boat in the middle of a lake. We might be there due to a job loss or the death of a loved one. Maybe disability, divorce, or financial insecurity has stranded us. Patrick and Ruth Schwenk found themselves feeling battered after five miscarriages and then surrounded by the waves with Patrick's cancer diagnosis at age forty-three. They were alone. Drifting. And that's when their transformation began. In this compassionate and powerful book, the Schwenks weave together lessons from their own experience with insightful Bible teaching to remind us that one of the greatest ways God transforms us is through trials. As they unpack why Jesus called the disciples into the middle of a lake when dry ground was so safe and comfortable, they help us &nbsp; <ul> <li>understand why the depth of our hurt enables us to experience deep hope;</li> <li>learn to conquer fear to experience the freedom God has for us; and</li> <li>discover how God uses chaos, and not just the classroom, to shape and work through us.</li> </ul> Today--in your confusion about God's intentions, your disappointment over lost dreams, your disillusionment about prayer--God is offering hope. Because Jesus is still Lord over the water. And while he is not moved by the waves, he is moved by you. And this flood might just be a path to abundance. &nbsp; "A powerful reminder that our current reality is not our final reality, and God is Lord over all chaos and suffering!" --Candace Cameron Bure, actress and New York Times bestselling author
