Att vara kristen förälder är svårt – och det blir allt svårare. Föräldrar har ofta en djup önskan att förmedla sin kristna tro till sina barn, men de fruktar att dagens alltmer skeptiska och fientliga värld ska få deras barn att förkasta tron. Det gör att många föräldrar känner sig maktlösa och osäkra på vad de kan göra för att hjälpa sina barn.

Den här boken vill ge föräldrar praktiska råd hur de kan samtala med sin barn och lägga grunden för en livslång tro. Författaren tar upp trettio samtalsämnen under huvudrubrikerna Guds existens, Vetenskapen och Gud, Guds natur, Att tro på Gud och Tron på Gud gör skillnad.

Vart och ett av de trettio kapitlen avslutas med en praktisk och pedagogisk handledning som steg för steg tar upp konkreta diskussionsfrågor och tips. Boken kan anpassas för samtal med barn i alla åldrar. En oumbärlig resurs för varje kristen förälder.
