It Starts at Home: A Practical Guide to Nuturing Lifelong Faith

It Starts at Home is a wakeup call for us to recognize a dramatic generational shift and respond with workable, realistic, and biblical strategies for spiritual formation at home. Kurt and Steve encourage leaders, couples, parents, and grandparents with unique clarity on how to achieve success where it matters most.

As Your Children Grow, Will Their Faith Grow Too?

As both stories and statistics attest, the number of evangelical children who abandon Christianity in adulthood is staggering. To see effective change, parents cannot leave their child's faith to chance. Rather, families must start nurturing faith early--you cannot start once your child is grown, you must start at home.

Strengthening family and home life is the best way to encourage your children to maintain a lifelong faith. It Starts at Home upholds marriage and family as the proving ground for lasting success. Experienced pastors Kurt Bruner and Steve Stroope provide a clear purpose, an effective strategy, and a simple plan for anyone who wants to be intentional in their homes. Their insights will help leaders recalibrate their priorities by asking them to evaluate their leadership where it counts most. This newly revised edition evaluates the current trends families and young adults face that can contribute to this crisis. Don't let your child's faith fade to memory--learn how you can create a home that will prepare them for lifelong faith.
