Many parents, including those who rarely come into contact with the Christian Church, are concerned for the spiritual development of their child - they want the best for him or her in all areas of life. Part of the "Pocketbook" series, this book picks up on that concern, introducing readers to what Christianity says about who we are and how we live. The book is designed for those considering whether to have their child baptized, and should also be useful to ministers for use with parents. It offers practical help in shaping behaviour, dealing with a child's demands, how to respond to a crying baby, how to say no and teach a child to know right from wrong, nurturing trust and helping children to grow up with a good moral and spiritual basis to their lives, gently introducing faith in God.
Many people are confused about marriage. This title asks what is marriage and what marriage isn't? It is aimed at committed couples, many of whom will be living together, and wondering whether marriage is for them. The book intends to show how marriage can be a practical and appropriate step to mark a permanent relationship of love between a man and a woman. Issues covered include: living together and "trial" marriages; what marriage is, and isn't; marriage and sex; and marriage in church. David and Christine Winter are the authors of "The Best for Your Child".
This pocketbook starts from four phrases which sum up what prayer is - thank God, God help us, God willing and oh God, no. It shows the possibility of prayer and how to get started, and ends with a few suggested prayers and themes to help people pray.
