"What is the most important job you have as a Christian parent? It is to pass your faith on to your children."Today large numbers of children who grow up in church and in Christian homes will leave the faith when they become adults. This is a major crisis for Christian families because the most important job you have as a Christian parent is to pass your faith along to your child. If you do everything else well, but fail in this most fundamental area, you will have failed in your most important job. But how can you pass your faith along to your child? Is the answer taking them to church? Or being a good role model? Or saying prayers before meals? Or getting them involved in youth group? The problem is that often those things do not work. Something else is needed. But what? In this book, Dr. Bohler gives parents a simple but effective method for helping their children develop their own authentic relationship with the living God, through the simple practice of teaching them to pray. This simple practice of bedtime prayers is one that every parent can do with their children and one that has tremendous benefits, if done correctly. Dr. Bohler guides you through how to teach your child to pray in a way that will bring them into their own vital relationship with God. Topics covered are --What is your role as a parent in the spiritual development of your child?-What ability does your child have to understand spiritual things? -What are basic principles of the practice of prayer? -How do you help your child develop their own life of prayer? -How to teach your child to say prayers of thanksgiving and petition. -How to make prayer a habit for your child. -How to pray with teenagers. -How to answer questions your child will ask about God, heaven, and the Bible. -How to take your child further in the practice of prayer. -How to connect your child to worship and other spiritual disciplines.
