Alright, Thank you for the suggestions. I have to ask though, do these books help with how to really teach and raise ones children in the faith? I would think that it would be just heartbreaking for ones kids to lapse from the faith. So I would really like to know how to bring my (future) children up in the faith (in more than a nominal going through the motions way). Again thank you. This means a whole lot to me.
This reminds me of advice I heard on how to learn a language:
Resolve to make one million mistakes. If you are too afraid to make a mistake, you’ll avoid the doing that you’re supposed to be doing. Do what you are called to do, and resolve that even if you fall a million times, you will let God take your hand and get you back up again.
The best way to teach faith is to have faith, practice your faith, love your faith. If there is something you think your children should do or avoid doing, then start today to do the good and avoid the evil yourself. Follow the commandment to love in the way that St. Paul councils: with patience, kindness, self-sacrifice, civility, hope, and so on. Faith that is not lived will die on the vine.
What is the most common command in the Bible? Be not afraid. Do not go through the experience of parenting worried about you or your child committing a misstep. It is going to happen. Rather, parent faithfully with joy, praise, and thanksgiving. As long as you are faithful, God will always catch you when you fall.
Put this in God’s hands, now and always. If you do this, and your children lapse in their faith, He will be there to support you until they come back. As Mother Theresa said, “God does not call me to be successful. He calls me to be faithful.” Be faithful, and trust in God to take care of the success.
Live that, and your children will learn that they can trust God, and trust you, too, to love them unconditionally and challenge them unceasingly.
It was every bit as good as the one he wrote on choosing a husband.
