Parents have the most direct impact on their children's spiritual formation. But often they lack confidence in their biblical knowledge, theological understanding, and grasp of Christian tradition. With gentle humor and faithful insight Kara Oliver encourages parents by providing practical ideas for passing on their faith to their children. She suggests that parents incorporate weekly gatherings into their family schedules for short periods 4 weeks at a time during 4 times of year: Advent, Lent, summer, and back-to-school.
