Missionary Parenting is About Relationships...
Christian parents sincerely desire to raise their children in the Faith.
Desire alone, however, is not enough. Parents must have a vision for their family, with a clear picture of what it can become or ought to be. The domestic church, which is the family as the first faith community, is such a vision. At its core are relationships into which married couples deliberately integrate faith, hope, and love.
Missionary Parenting presents six essential relationships centered on Jesus Christ that,
when developed and cultivated, actualize a domestic church. More than a how-to or self-help book,
this book provides parents with a clear description of God's design for their family. It provides parents with
genuine hope and confidence to pass the Faith to their children. Although the book is written from
a Catholic perspective, the vision is applicable to Christian parenting in general.
