Faith Training: Raising Kids Who Love the Lord

I have read many parenting books. One of the best I've ever read is by Joe White. It's called Faith Training: Raising Kids Who Love the Lord. In his book, he states that 80% of all high school Christian kids abandon their faith sometime during their college days. White gives concrete ways that parents can be effective faith trainers. From his own experience of raising 4 kids, he shares with us "how to pass the baton" from generation to generation. This is not a book of philosophy; it is a book filled with practical application.

The author encourages us by letting us know that it is never too late. In fact, he started late with some of his kids. He writes of a time when he was more involved in his work than with his family. A friend looked him in the eye and told him that he was messing up by not placing a higher priority on his wife and kids.

This book is a practical how-to book filled with anecdotes. It's encouraging as it gives all of us hope when it comes to raising kids who love the Lord. While this book is appropriate for parents of kids all ages, White addresses many of the tough issues facing our teens.

Have a blessed day, Robin
