Here’s an awesome new book for grandparents

This book will challenge you and give you resources for this spiritual battle with the enemy. Our headlines are shocking today. It is a global reality that truth is under attack like never before in our schools, our political arenas, the marketplace, and even in our churches. Christianity is under assault, and parents and grandparents find themselves involved in a tug of war for the hearts and minds of their children. It is not easy for our grandchildren to navigate in this post-Christian culture. Satan is relentless in his aggressive attack to desensitize our children to truth and righteousness. This is a spiritual battle requiring spiritual weapons. Our grandchildren and their parents not only need our support, but they also need our earnest prayers. 

I recently Revised and Expanded the book, Grandparenting with a Purpose, Effective Ways to Pray for Your Grandchildren. It’s designed to encourage and equip grandparents to intentionally pray for their grandchildren and their parents.

Josh Mulvihill, Ph.D, Executive Director of church and family ministry at Renewanation writes this about the “Revised and Expanded” edition of Grandparenting with a Purpose.

• You will be trained to keep Scripture central to your prayers;
•  Lillian equips you to be an intentional grandparent who focuses on the spiritual growth of grandchildren; 
• You will find many practical tools to help you develop the habit of prayer for grandchildren; 
•  Lillian rightly understands something that Oswald Chambers once said, Prayer doesn¹t equip us for greater works ­prayer is the greater work.² When grandparents ask me for a book on prayer, I always recommend Lillian’s book and I highly recommend it to you.”    

Since I have had many requests for a study guide to go with the chapters.  I have expanded the book with additional chapters and a study guide for each chapter, which you will find useful.

•    I have found there are many hurting estranged grandparents today with heavy hearts, so I am addressing that issue in a chapter. Is your grandparenting Painful or a blessing?

•    I include a section looking at a view of the culture our grandchildren and their parents are navigating today. 

•    God’s Design for grandparenting plus several additional chapters and Scriptures to Pray for Teens and Scriptures for Grandparents to pray for themselves.

Grandparenting with a Purpose: Effective Ways to Pray for your Grandchildren would be a great Christmas gift for your friends who are grandparents.
