    About this ebook

    Family discipleship is when parents help their children become disciples of Jesus Christ in the home through reading the Bible, praying, worshiping, and doing missions together. It starts in our marriages, by loving our spouse with the love of Christ. It happens by teaching, loving, and sharing our faith with our children. Grow at Home unpacks the role of discipleship in shaping children’s lives with a practical guide to family discipleship. When we bring the gospel back into the home, it will spread through our neighborhoods and into the communities where we live.

      A Parent’s Responsibility

      Consider family religion not merely as a duty imposed by authority, but as your greatest privilege granted by divine grace.

All you have to do is look around your city, neighborhood, or school, or simply turn on the television to see how family life has changed. Leave It to Beaver has been replaced with television shows like Modern Family, which promotes alternative views of family life.
