Most parents who value Christian faith want their children to enjoy a vibrant, growing relationship with God, both now and throughout their lives. But few of those parents ever attach this hope to an ongoing plan; therefore, they fail to lay a reliable spiritual track in front of the fast-moving train of family life. This book is a junction point where deep parental desire meets workable design and where timid inadequacy meets Christ’s sufficiency. It’s where individual families become multiplication factories, exerting a lasting impact not only on their coming generations but even on the culture at large.
Quote from a Concerned Mother
“I am a mother to young daughters and have had my fair chance of challenges in life but I have found that having God as a solid rock on which to fall helps me daily. I wish to equip my children and empower while they are still young and until I stumbled upon this book, I had no idea of where to start and felt guilty for depriving my kids of a solid foundation. I’m truly glad that you have an alert wife who nudged you in the right direction because it is because of her concern that you rose up and took your rightful position and in turn helped many families. Charting a plan seems like such an insurmountable task but with the guidance of this book, it becomes easier, practical and doable.I have always had an idea of how I want my family to turn out but this book has equipped me with the practical side of things. I am not ready to share my vision as well but am glad it’s now on paper. I am confident it will come to fruition soon as I draw inspiration from Dr Terence Chatmon. I pray that God will lead me as I lead my kids so that I am only impart what God wishes and not what I want. I do not wish to manipulate the little souls or even force them into anything. I am fully aware that this is not a once-off project but is instead a lifestyle program. For these reasons, I will be taking it one step at a time, focusing on the life-long plan. I have adapted and tweaked the sample devotional plan and have applied it. I have adopted this book as a personal template and am glad I can come back to it to consult.”
As a responsible parent do you have a written plan for your family? Where are you leading and guiding them to?
Dr. Terence Chatmon, a successful senior executive in corporate America, served in leadership roles with several Fortune 50 companies, including Johnson & Johnson, Citibank, and Coca-Cola, but he was failing to become the spiritual leader of his home. He was challenged by his wife to chart a course for the spiritual growth of his family and children. After much prayer, he took what he knew from his corporate-world success and biblical teaching to develop one of the world’s most transformational step-by-step family spiritual development processes.
Terence is now a family legacy champion, and his family discipleship workshop, Do Your Children Believe, has reached more than 100K participating families and continues to grow.
A Chicago native and graduate of the University of Illinois, Terence brings drive and ingenuity to every role he plays in life, as an elder at a prominent eight-thousand-member mega-church, a previous Bible study fellowship leader, and most importantly a husband and father.
