In an increasingly conflicted world, Christian parents seek ways to navigate their role and prepare their children to walk with Christ. Raising Kids for Tomorrow’s World: 12 Keys to Preserving the Faith presents a roadmap based on I Thessalonians 2 for building a culture of faith in the home. With the essentials in place, parents will more effectively pass biblical faith to the next generation. From “Discover Boldness” to “Be the One Your Children Want to Imitate,” parents will be strengthened to persevere with confidence.

“Raising Kids for Tomorrow’s World is a tremendous resource for anyone interested in passing biblical faith to the next generation! It’s profound, yet practical — perfect for a small group setting.”
