Families and Faith
When the church of the home and the church of the parish work together, lasting faith formation is the result. Families and Faith: A Vision and Practice for Parish Leaders offers readers a wealth of ideas and strategies for helping families grow in faith. It focuses on practical steps for connecting faith and life, family faith and spirituality, families and Christian practice, and families and serving others. Excellent for catechetical leaders, youth ministers, and coordinators for whole community catechesis.
Intergenerational Faith Formation
Here the authors convincingly show that intergenerational faith formation, when done well, can be powerful, dramatic, even magical. Not only is there a place for intergenerational learning in parish faith formation, the authors believe there is a necessity for it. They show that intergenerational faith formation can help children, adolescents, and adults effectively identify with and integrate into the faith community because their learning and formation takes place in the context of communityall ages learning together. People will be looking for this one.
Sacred Gifts
Middle teens, just by living their ever eventful lives, shape and enrich the adults around them. Sacred Gifts taps the opportunities for growth and sacred insight that come when parents ponder and appreciate the gifts of wisdom these "fragile creators of chaos" bring to the family and to the world. Each chapter unwraps a gift that Tina Brennan received from one of the many teenage experiences of her seven children and invites the reader to reflect on how that gift might become part of his or her life.

Dear God
Dear God, the world feels very alive today, with birds and flowers and many colors. Thank you for the new life we feel and see all around us, life that comes from you. Thank you for butterflies and dandelions and new leaves and bugs and kites and baseball. Thank you for life. Amen. --"On a Spring Day" This easy-to-use book of prayers provides a much-needed resource for families who want to celebrate the everyday events of their lives. From such moments as the first day of school, being in a thunderstorm, reading together, and fifty-seven other occasions, Finley attempts to help parents and children see and express the ways that God is part of their lives. In her introduction, she describes the family as the basic unit of religious formation and experience. She further argues that the role of family prayer is not to make family life holy, but rather to help families see the holiness that is already there. Line drawings by Kevin Finley, the author's son, accompany each prayer.

A thematic index is included for easy reference. These books are ideal for liturgy planning, and they're perfect for helping the entire family stay focused on prayer--all week long.
