We know that parents and the family are the most powerful influence for virtually every child and youth outcome—personal, academic, social, and spiritual-religious; and that parents are the most important influence on the social and religious lives of children, youth, and emerging adults. Families at the Center of Faith Formation proposes a new comprehensive approach to family faith formation that places families at the center of faith formation and develops the family as a community of faith and school of discipleship while equipping parents (and grandparents) to transmit the Christian faith at home. Families at the Center of Faith Formation includes seven chapters rich in foundational insights and practical application:
- Transforming Our Narratives of Families in the 21st Century
- Understanding 21st Century Parents and Families: A Review of Research Trends
- Reimagining Family Faith Formation for the 21st Century
- Growing in Faith as a Family
- Nurturing the Faith of Young People through the Family
- Developing the Family-at-the-Center Approach to Faith Formation: Eight Strategies for Family Faith Formation
- Designing Faith Formation with Families at the Center
