Family Faith Under Fire: Practical Answers to Everyday Challenges

In our toxic culture, it increasingly seems as if raising children in the Faith is a losing battle. Perhaps your spouse wishes you were more "fun" than religious, or your peers challenge you in your beliefs. Concerns related to faith can become touchy topics for today's believers, especially when questions arise regarding your views on family life or your approach to raising children.

With his rare voice of reason and characteristic humor, popular television and radio host Dr. Ray Guarendi provides you with sound practical and spiritual wisdom and expertise as a clinical psychologist and father of ten. In these engaging pages, Dr. Ray addresses numerous issues, such as:

• How can I live my Faith better, especially with those closest to me?
• What to do when children ask: Why do we have to go to church when Dad doesn't?
• How can we get our toddler to behave during Mass?
• Should adolescents be required to go to Mass if they don't want to?
• What should I do when my adult children and grandchildren aren't living the Faith?

Additionally, Dr. Ray lays out ways in which parents can witness to their beliefs, even in broken marriages. You will also learn how to respond when your children's faith is threatened at school or through peers who don't share your beliefs, to protect them from unhealthy influences and mindsets.

Moreover, you will find tips for increasing your focus during Mass, concrete advice on setting an example for your children, and ways to help teenagers develop reverence for God at Mass.

Above all, you will learn who you are as a child of God and how to open your heart to His mercy and healing, regardless of your past experiences or how wounded you are now. Let Dr. Ray show you effective ways to live your Faith and share it convincingly and peacefully with those you love.
