Grandparenting: A Short Review

As a newer grandparent, the first chapters of Josh Mulvihill's book, Grandparenting: Strengthening Your Family and Passing on Your Faith, were a bit of a reality check. After wrestling with Mulvihill's exhortation that being a grandparent is not about spoiling and sugar-loading our grandkids, I was encouraged to look at the special opportunity I have to invest in the lives of these particular children—my grandchildren.

Am I praying for them? Am I communicating with them in age-appropriate words and actions the love of Christ, the truths of His Word, the stories of how He has worked in my life? 

What a blessing to be able to pass on to the next generation not just a few dollars, a few cookies, and toys—but Christ, our only sure and certain hope.

Grandparenting: Strengthening Your Family and Passing on Your Faith

Grandparenting gives you a biblical foundation for investing spiritually in your grandkids, walking you through the principles of influencing them for Christ--from sharing with unbelieving grandkids to discipling them into a mature faith. This book is perfect for individual use, small groups, or Sunday school classes.
