"52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith" by Jim Campbell shares Catholic parenting tips and opportunities for meaningful conversations
Family life is full of “teachable moments”—occasions of hope and joy, worry and stress that provide excellent opportunities for children to learn about faith. These are times when spiritual questions arise naturally and meaningful conversations can flow . . . if parents are prepared to talk about God with honest conviction.
Veteran religious educator James P. Campbell helps moms and dads turn these potentially awkward moments into grace-filled times when children learn lasting spiritual lessons. He identifies dozens of opportunities for faith sharing that come up in the course of normal family life, and for each he explains the spiritual issue involved and suggests ways that parents can start a meaningful conversation about it. Scriptural background is provided for each theme, as is the Catholic Church’s view on each issue. Every chapter closes with Campbell’s suggested opportunities for prayer.
Campbell’s 52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith equips Catholic parents to fulfill one of their most important responsibilities—that of shaping the spiritual and moral dimensions of their children’s lives.
Jim Campbell is one of the great Catholic thinkers of our time. I would gladly sit at his feet and listen for an hour each day if I could. His vision is extraordinary and engaging. I could not recommend anything he writes more. If 52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith is your first experience of his work—don’t let it be your last.”
