Bringing the Gospel to Covenant Children (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781601781178)

This book is packed with practical guidance on how to evangelize covenant children and how, by God's grace, to make the home "a nursery for heaven." After showing that Christians today fail to understand the role of the covenant in their children's lives, Joel R. Beeke offers insight on the covenant relationship between God and man, and its implications for home and family. He then teaches parents how to instruct their children in the gospel, with detailed guidelines on how to use prayer, family worship, teaching, conversation, and mentoring to evangelize children. Leading a child to Christ is a lengthy but hopeful journey in which parents must use God's appointed means while depending radically upon the Holy Spirit to produce the desired result.
