Joining Jesus as a family is simpler than you think and a lot more fun! Christian parents want to raise their children to be life-long followers of Jesus. But many parents watch their children grow up, leave home, and then walk away from the faith. What went wrong? And how can a new generation of parents avoid the same result?\nGreg and Susan Finke identify what Jesus shows us in the gospels to help parents become more intentional and practical in raising Jesus-followers. What does it mean to “disciple” my own child? What are my parenting goals? Where do I want my child to end up? To lead my child there, how then shall I live? What is Jesus’ discipleship process? How can I weave Jesus’ discipleship process into the rhythm of my family’s everyday life?This book is for anyone helping a child live the fruitful and fulfilling life of a Jesus-follower: parents, grandparents, foster parents, pastors, family ministry professionals and volunteers.
