| Synopsis: |
Many churches already involve parents and families, but most are falling short. Many focus on their inability to get parents and families involved, often failing to build on the strengths they already have to meet families' needs. The Roehlkepartains take a broader approach to family ministry. Based on recent research, their book challenges pastors and other church leaders to expand their vision, become proactive in meeting the needs of families, and help the church be a place where parents and their children can grow. The authors provide key research findings, true stories, quizzes, checklists, and practical tools that congregations can use to become more effective. Even the most experienced pastor and church leader will find new ways to strengthen their families--and their churches. |
