"Children need whole-life teaching in the spiritual disciplines- age appropriate, loving, wise teaching. And it is primarily parents who own this responsibility. Habits of a Child's Heart will show them the way. I recommend it highly."
-Dr. Richard J. Foster, author, Celebration of Discipline
The best time to learn anything- especially the spiritual disciplines- is as a child. In Habits of a Child's Heart, parents not only learn the spiritual disciplines for themselves but they also discover how to practice them with their kids and teens.
Broken down into bite-sized, age-specific exercises, the foundations of the Christian life will become lifetime habits. Practice the spiritual disciplines as a family by:
-Serving others in a practical way
-Fasting from TV or video games
-Simplifying schedules and possessions
-Developing new habits of worship
-Meditating on specific bible passages
These are essential skills your kids will take with them wherever they go- long after they grow up and teach the same lessons to their own children.
"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
-Joshua 24:15
