For grandparents who desire to bless their families and have eternal impact for generations.
Award winning author, sought after speaker, and lifelong children's advocate Valerie Bell shares how grandparents can live with purpose and shape families from generation to generation.
Grandchildren are a gift and blessing from God. The years pass quickly. Yet the grandparenting years are filled with significance and possibility. These years have the potential to guide, enlighten, comfort, and lead our families, not only for today, for many generations. But how do we build faith that lasts for generations amidst our increasingly secularized and paganized world?
In For Our Children's Children, Valerie shares 10 faith-links--or spiritual practices--that help our grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and beyond hold fast to the faith through all times. Looking to Scripture, and faithful Christians who've gone before us, this book explores intentional, gospel focused connections for building A Family Chain of Faith, including:
Link One: Discernment--Understanding the times are urgent and the years are short.
Link Two: Example--Grandparents can be the front-row seat to faith for generations to come.
Link Four: Loyalty--I will always love you. Grandparents can strengthen immediate family links by being loyal to their grown children, their first loves.
Link Five: Knowing God--Grandparents need to show God is active in their lives.
Link Six: Generosity--Grandparents can "woo" their families to Christ through generous spirits.
Link Eight: Prayer--Grandparents prayers need to be both deep and wide.
Link Ten: Joy--Laughter and togetherness be the glue for generations to come.
Family is God's good plan. These years can become the most important decades of your life. If you long for children to know the love, forgiveness, and hope of Jesus, if you long for wayward children to return to the One who loves them most, if you long for faith to form your children's children, you'll find wisdom, guidance, and practical help for building faith-links that get passed from one generation to the next.
For Our Children's Children is an essential book and encouraging pathway for the hope Christian grandparents carry in their hearts--that their families will be blessed for generations and walk closely with the Lord.
This book makes a wonderful gift.
The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Psalm 33:11
