Reviews

With the gentleness of grandparents and the wisdom of professionals, Glen and Ellen tell heartwarming and inspiring stories that give practical insight into grace-filled child-rearing. Applying their insights will prepare kids for life in the real world and pass a rich heritage of faith to the next generation. --Jim Jackson, president and cofounder of Connected Families (06/27/2017) If God has blessed you with children, they are your most important calling. They are immortal souls entrusted to your care. Will your children love God? Will your grandchildren make a difference in the world for Christ? Glen and Ellen's book is filled with powerful Scriptures, honest stories, and everyday ideas that will equip you to shape the faith of your family for generations to come. --Rob Rienow, founder of Visionary Family Ministries (06/27/2017) Glen and Ellen Schuknecht have written a beautiful, hands-on book about building the kind of family we all dream of having. There is no formula here (because that doesn't exist, of course), but there are many helpful ideas for connecting the hearts of each person in your family to one another and to the grand heart of God. These chapters are full of hope and vision. For those of us who did not come from families with deep spiritual heritages, their advice gives shape to the love we long to see play out in the future generations of our own family. We will be forever grateful for their guidance and wisdom. --Morgan And Carrie Stephens, Mosaic Church, Austin (06/27/2017) I am incredibly blessed to have grown up with parents who gave me a true spiritual heritage--one that carried me through my tough teenage years and into adulthood, where I have started my own family. I can't recommend this book enough to parents and grandparents who want to build strong, connected families that will love God and love each. --Erin MacPherson, author of more than 12 books including The Christian Mama's Guide series (06/27/2017) Glen and Ellen Schuknecht give parents and grandparents a wealth of ideas and practical tips that will help them achieve the crucial personal connections that are the bedrock of strong families and strong faith. Instead of a list of rules, the Schuknechts offer fresh approaches and principles that readers will be excited to apply. Their stories filled with humor, warmth, and authenticity make this an entertaining read, as homey, comforting, and encouraging as the first bite of a warm cinnamon roll. Recipe for success definitely included! --Martha Singleton, coauthor of The View Through Your Window (06/27/2017) This book is more than a nice theory that academics came up with while writing in their book-lined offices. I've seen the godly heritage that Glen and Ellen have built in their family. I've pulled up a stool to their kitchen counter, eaten Ellen's famous cinnamon rolls, and eavesdropped on the holy conversations that they've had with their kids and grandkids. So much of the teaching I received as a parent was about breaking a child of their sin. But along with trying to break the sin, we sometimes broke their spirit. That is why I cannot recommend this book enough. Discipline while building up a child's faith instead of breaking their spirit? Yes, please! A must-read for every struggling parent and grandparent who wants to leave a spiritual legacy and feels that it might be too late. The good news? It's never too late to show God's love to our kids. --Kathi Lipp (06/27/2017) Intensely practical and deeply insightful, A Spiritual Heritage is the kind of book I would've loved when I was a young parent desperate for wisdom from parents who have been there. The Schuknechts have an uncanny ability to help you discern what to do in many child-rearing situations--all with grace and peace. Any parent wanting to instill a godly heritage in their children's lives should read this book. --Mary DeMuth, author of Building the Christian Family You Never Had (06/27/2017)
