Family life is full of teachable momentsoccasions 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.

Veteran religious educator James P. Campbell helps moms and dads turn these potentially awkward moments into grace-filled times when children learn lasting spiritual lessons. He identifies dozens of opportunities for faith sharing that come up in the course of normal family life, and for each he explains the spiritual issue involved and suggests ways that parents can start a meaningful conversation about it. Scriptural background is provided for each theme, as is the Catholic Churchs view on each issue. Every chapter closes with Campbells suggested opportunities for prayer.
