God at the Kitchen Table Teaching Your Religious and Moral Beliefs to Your Children

Parents want their kids to grow up with a powerful sense of right and wrong. And recent Gallup polls confirm that most Americans would like their children to receive religious instruction -- ideally, at home. Good intentions aside, many parents have trouble making time and getting started. God at the Kitchen Table offers the guidance they need. Its practical suggestions and numerous resources -- books, movies, and websites -- help parents weave spirituality and God-consciousness into their hectic home life through discussions, readings, outings, prayers, service projects, and more.In this deeply personal book, Scott Cooper, author of Sticks and Stones: 7 Ways Your Child Can Deal with Teasing, Conflict, and Other Hard Times, provides sample scripts for teaching essential virtues and discussing thorny religious issues. It also addresses complicated questions such as: -- What should we say if my spouse and I have different beliefs?-- How can we explain conflicts between religion and science?-- How can we teach about God if we don't go to church?Cooper, Scott is the author of 'God at the Kitchen Table Teaching Your Religious and Moral Beliefs to Your Children', published 2002 under ISBN 9780609809181 and ISBN 0609809180.
