Raising Spiritual Children in a Material World : Introducing Spirituality into Family Life Book

How can we help our families rediscover spirituality? How do we teach our children about God - without falling back on doctrines we no longer believe? How can we prepare our children for the kind of spiritual practice that will make sense in the 21st century? Raising Spiritual Children in a Material World explores these questions, focusing on modern parents' search for a family spiritual practice that draws on, but is not limited to, their own religious heritage. It will help parents provide spiritual guidance to their children - even if they are still seeking answers themselves - and discover an authentic faith that promotes compassion, tolerance, and respect.

Many parents believe that the religion they grew up with may not be relevant or appropriate for their own children, yet they still want their family to have some kind of spiritual core. This thought-provoking guide offers tangible evidence on how to fill this void, exploring a variety of belief systems, self-defined practices, interfaith relationships, and more, 288 pp.
