Moments for Couples Who Long for Children

With encouraging stories and helpful advice, author Ginger Garrett, who has battled infertility herself, gently leads couples to a new sense of hope in God’s compassion.

Even when nothing seems to make sense, God cares.

Couples who struggle to have children have so many questions. They wonder if they will ever cradle a newborn baby or get to watch their child’s soccer games. Faced with infertility, many may feel that their bodies have let them down, beg God that it isn’t so, and secretly ask themselves if He has somehow cheated them. Does God really care?

Author Ginger Garrett knows all about these questions and fears. She struggled herself to trust God during her battle with infertility, only to come to a greater understanding of His love and grace. Her daily devotional gently leads readers to a fresh biblical insight, renewed passion for prayer, and a freedom to trust in God’s compassion. She has realized that He alone is the answer to life’s toughest questions. He is a wise Father to his children and infinitely understands their dreams and desires. Even in infertility—through all the confusion and heartache—God still cares.

Habits of a Child’s Heart

Raising Your Kids with the Spiritual Disciplines

Gain the tools and specific ideas you need to intentionally develop the spiritual disciplines in your child’s life.

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” —Joshua 24:15

Everyone knows that children learn the most by watching their parents’ example—by doing what they do. Why would learning about spiritual things be any different?

The best time to learn anything—especially the spiritual disciplines—is as a child. In Habits of a Child’s Heart, parents not only learn the spiritual disciplines for themselves, but they also discover how to practice them with their kids and teens.

Broken down into bite-sized, age-specific exercises, the foundations of the Christian life will become lifetime habits. Practice the spiritual disciplines as a family by:

Serving others in a practical way
Fasting from TV or video games
Simplifying schedules and possessions
Developing new habits of worship
Meditating on specific Bible passages

These are essential skills your kids will take with them wherever they go—long after they grow up and teach the same lessons to their own children.
