Family the Forming Center

By Marjorie J. Thompson

Book Overview

The first place most of us experience God and learn the values that shape our lives is within the family. Is it any wonder, then, that all manner of current social ills are blamed on the disintegration of family life?

Children need to see that the spiritual life is significant to their parents at home as well as at church. If your home life differs from the image you present at church, your kids will see faith as contrived and irrelevant.

In this revised and expanded edition, Thompson suggests models, rituals, and celebrations that will inspire your children to grow spiritually and will help center your family on God. Family the Forming Center will help you, as parents, develop close family relationships filled with God's love, trust, and values.

Customer Reviews

A must read for parents and pastors!

As a pastor I have come to understand just how important the spiritual practices in the home are to forming faith in children. I place it higher than any program we do at the church. This is an excellent resource for helping parents with their role in nurturing a life of faith and I have begun to have extra copies available in our Foyer for parents.
