We clothe and feed them; we read to them and praise their artistic efforts; we try to make sure they have positive experiences in school. In short, we try to be the best parents possible. Why then do we have doubts about how to help our kids grow spiritually? Perhaps it's because we feel insecure about how to do it or aren't familiar with the resources available to help us! Darlene Carpenter understands this dilemma and addresses your concerns in Spiritual Nurturing in a simple, down-to-earth manner.
