Synopsis
This book is full of engaging ways for parents to talk with their children about God, faith, and morality. Family Life is full of 'teachable moments" - occasions of hope and joy, worry and stress that provide excellent opportunities for the children to learn about faith. These are times when spiritual questions arise naturally and meaningful conversation can flow...if parents are prepared to talk about God with honest conviction. Veteran religious educator James P. Campbell helps moms and dads turn these potentially awkward moments into grace-filled times when children learn lasting spiritual lessons.He identifies dozens of opportunities for faith sharing that come up in the course of normal family life, and for each he explain the spiritual issue involved and suggests ways that parents can start a meaningful conversation about it. Scriptural background is provided for each theme, as is the Catholic Church's view on each issue. Every chapter closes with Campbell's suggested opportunities for prayer.

"Campbell's 52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith" equips Catholic parents to fulfill one of their most important responsibilities - that of shaping the spiritual and moral dimensions of their children's lives.
