Raising Kids to Follow Christ: a practical parenting tool for Christian families

Raising Kids to Follow Christ: Instilling a Lifelong Trust in God by Lee Ann Mancini answers the question: How can we raise the next generation to have an unshakable faith in God as they navigate the challenging terrain of modern culture? Author and parenting expert Lee Ann Mancini offers the idea that children need a heart change, not just a behavior change, in order to become effective disciples and followers of Christ. She offers ways to teach the essential Christian principles in order to navigate the world with grace, integrity, and a lifelong bond with God. With personal anecdotes and experience, Lee Ann Mancini offers practical strategies to address doubts, fears and questions biblically in today’s culture as well as ways for children to understand their emotions and actions. Raising Kids to Follow Christ has easy to understand apologetics for children and adults with fun ways for parent and child to connect. 

Raising Kids to Follow Christ is another tool at the disposal of parents to help teach biblical principles. With gentle reassurance that it is never too early or too late to start teaching children about Jesus and the cornerstones of Christian beliefs. From basic child rearing techniques to teaching the biblical virtues and the fruits of the Spirit. Each chapter has review questions for parents to consider, apply and adapt for their family’s needs. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It gave me a lot of ideas on how to teach biblical principles in a family environment. I would have liked it better if the questions were at the end of each chapter so the material is fresh in my mind in order to answer, instead of being at the end of the book. If you are looking for another tool in your parenting repertoire, I recommend Raising Kids to Follow Christ.
