Product Description

Family life is full of "teachable moments"--occasions of hope and joy, worry and stress that provide excellent opportunities for children to learn about faith. These are times when spiritual questions arise naturally and meaningful conversations can flow . . . if parents are prepared to talk about God with honest conviction. In 52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith, veteran religious educator James P. Campbell helps moms and dads turn potentially awkward moments into occasions when children can learn lasting spiritual lessons. He identifies dozens of opportunities for faith sharing that come up in the course of normal family life. For each, he explains the spiritual issue involved and suggests ways that parents can start a meaningful conversation about it. Scriptural background is provided for each theme, as is the Catholic Church's view on each issue. Every chapter closes with Campbell's suggested opportunities for prayer.
