This Leader's Handbook is an essential companion for those running
a Parenting for Faith course, a video-based resource for parents,
godparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, foster parents,
children's and youth leaders, church leaders and family friends -
in fact, anyone who wants to support a child or teen (of any age)
in their spiritual development. You don't need any formal
qualifications to run a Parenting for Faith course - just
enthusiasm, a bit of preparation, and a passion to see those
parenting and supporting children equipped and inspired.
How can churches become centres for empowering parents to raise
God-connected children? How can we transform the lives of parents,
carers, grandparents and church communities, and the way
generations of children are raised? While it is parents who are on
the front line of discipling their children, God has placed us as
the church to journey alongside them, nurturing and equipping them
and cheering them on. This book will help church leaders and
volunteers to grow in the skills needed to make our churches places
that empower families. It explores how to help parents over the
major obstacles that hinder them from proactively discipling their
children, and looks at practical ways to lay the foundations of a
church culture where parenting for faith can flourish.
Parenting teens has its challenges. The once-small children we had
are pulling away from us, growing in independence and making
decisions with bigger consequences. It can be easy to think we are
less influential in their lives, particularly when it comes to
faith. But that is not true. Parents remain the significant
spiritual influencer in a teen's life, and they need us to help
them navigate the world and faith together. This book will help all
parents, carers, grandparents and others involved in teens'
everyday lives to understand the teenage faith journey more and
find their place within it.
Parenting Children for a Life of Purpose is a practical and tested
handbook for parents. It explores the possibilities for helping
children to discover their specific gifts for whatever God is
calling them to be, and shows how to partner with churches to
enable children to discover their true identity and purpose in life
and walk alongside them on the journey. Addressing issues of
identity, relationship, purpose, power, love, calling and response,
each chapter includes true stories and questions to help us to
reflect on our own experiences.
Uncertainty and change can be hard, and even more so for a child.
Feelings of confusion, powerlessness and insecurity may be
overwhelming. Scripture is full of people just like our children
who had to cope with uncertainty and transition and flourished as
they saw God's hand and presence within it all. Designed as a
series of stories and discussions for families, this book lays a
biblical foundation for who God is in uncertain times and how to
stay connected to him. Praise for Comfort in the Darkness: 'What is
not to love about this book? 16 stories from the Bible are
skilfully retold with just the right amount of drama, suspense and
awe - perfect for a shared story!' Ali Campbell, The Resource 'It's
simple, it's clever and it's profound. I found my own perspective
on night-time changing along with my children's.' Victoria Beech,

restrictions. Twenty leading Christian thinkers have come together
to help you begin to navigate this strange reality. Each
contributor writes on their area of expertise, and topics covered
include prayer, loneliness, work, singleness, marriage, parenting,
grief, death, imagination, conversations, humour, and much more.
They offer practical advice as well as helpful perspective from
Scripture. This is an essential resource for anyone looking to
cultivate a healthy faith which infuses all areas of life during
this disorienting time.

Nurturing children in the Christian faith is a privilege given to
all of us whose responsibility it is to raise children. God's
desire is that our parenting guides each child to meet and know
him, and to live with him every day through to eternity. In this
fully updated compilation of her Parenting Children for a Life
of... series, Rachel Turner explores how the home can become the
primary place in which children are nurtured into the reality of
God's loving presence and encouraged to grow in a two-way
relationship with him that will last a lifetime. This book examines
how we can enable our children to know what it means to be in a
relationship with God, rather than just know about him - helping
our children to be God-connected rather than merely God-smart. Each
chapter includes true stories and questions to help us reflect on
our own experience as we journey together with our children.
Night-themed Bible stories for families to share together Sleep,

night, and how to troubleshoot specific spiritual and emotional
issues that arise around sleep, night and dreams
Our children's early years are incredibly significant in shaping
their mental, emotional and spiritual lives for the future, but how
do we sow seeds of faith when they are so tiny? In this book Rachel
Turner suggests simple, everyday approaches to help our children
connect with the God who knows them. Wherever you are on your faith
journey, you can help your child meet and know God, and however
young your child is, God loves them and has promises for them.
When spiritual leadership is the day job, how does it affect family
dynamics? How do we spiritually parent our children while also
needing to lead the church? How do we balance the many hats we
wear? How do we live in a goldfish bowl and yet enable our children
to flourish? How do we parent for faith without giving in to the
pressure to perform for our congregations? Drawing on extensive
research, this book explores the issues and builds a set of simple
tools and approaches to help leaders and their families to flourish
together.
