About The Book
Parenting is hard work, especially in a world of conflicting values and a myriad of opinions on how best to raise your children. Leaving a Family Legacy is written to instill confidence in parents to courageously raise their children in the Lord. Parents are challenged to consider the legacy their family is leaving and to intentionally invest in raising children who know God personally, bring joy to their family, and make a difference in their world.
​
Rather than delivering formulas, Alvaros share principles found in God’s Word to be uniquely implemented in each family. Through real-life scenarios, they explore successes, failures, and the lessons learned from both. Topics include:
​​
-
Instilling values and developing character
-
Restoring peace out of chaos
-
Cultivating a relationship with God
-
Connecting with your children
-
Dealing with conflict
​​
Each chapter is followed with application steps for implementing strategies as well as discussion questions for small group study.
