FAITH-SHAPED KIDS: Helping Your Child Grow Spiritually

Steve & Valerie Bell

Learn how to maximize the gift of relationship in helping your child become a kid, a teenager, and a young adult who is shaped to faith…

Parents and children are so intimately linked spiritually that you cannot talk about a child’s faith without also talking about the faith of the parent.  Faith formation is not something we teach our kids but something that is learned together as a family.  Steve and Valerie Bell share nine lessons they have learned from their parental years about how a genuine faith in Christ is formed in a child’s life.

“I cannot overstate the urgency of reading Faith-Shaped Kids.  The influence of parents is incredibly powerful!  Not only do I recommend this ground-breaking book, but it’s at the top of my “must-read” list for every Mom and Dad.  Because you love your child, love him or her enough to read this book.”
—Josh D. McDowell, Speaker and Author

“We loved, loved, loved this book.  What did parents do before seat belts?  What did Christian parents do before this book?  Alongside the Bible, Faith-Shaped Kids needs to be packed into every family car driving down the King’s Highway.”  Valerie Bell offers concrete ways for moms and dads to move from no-win to win-win with their children.  Highly recommended for those who long for a sane alternative to the arguments of parents’ rights versus children’s rights.”

“This wonderful book is a winner and should be mandatory reading for all parents and parents-to-be!  Faith-Shaped Kids will encourage and equip you to tackle this most important of responsibilities.  We have one era to deeply influence our children’s lives—make it count by applying this wisdom from Steve and Valerie!”
