You want them to go to the Bible first to find answers to life's biggest questions. But how can you instill those habits into them right now--as preschoolers, elementary students, or teens? Where can you find a resource to help you?
This handy A-to-Z topical guide will equip you to instill God's principles into the everyday lives of your family members. Among the many themes author Kara Durbin covers, you'll find:

Newly updated to include a section on identifying "teachable moments" in your child's life, Parenting with Scripture aims to make you alert to opportunities to talk to your child about godly living. Furthermore, the ideas for simple discussions, Scriptures for memorization, and activities that are adaptable to your children's ages and interests will make you wonder why you didn't have this book before!
