Publisher Description:

Family life is full of "teachable moments"--occasions of hope and joy, worry and stress that provide excellent opportunities for children to learn about faith. These are times when spiritual questions arise naturally and meaningful conversations can flow . . . if parents are prepared to talk about God with honest conviction.
