God and Children - Paperback [Paperback]

"Fr. Urteaga (1921-2009) is a writer who gave exceptional value to the human side of life, and its enrichment by an ongoing struggle for virtue. Yet he never lost sight of the importance of grace. He addresses parents in their sometimes-difficult job of raising children to be not only men and women, but Christian saints. His modus operandi is that life is truly worthwhile if it is lived for the love of God. In these chapters, he draws on his own rich experience as a teacher and spiritual director. He adds Christian doctrine, human, and common sense to make God and Children a book for all parents and especially those of young children. Johns: God and Children, The Vocation of Parents presents an entirely different approach to parenting than usual. The author looks at bringing up children in terms of teaching by example and prayer to live their faith and be prepared to change the world through lives of holiness and dedication either in marriage or in apostolic celibacy"--
