From the Back Cover

Grandparenting According to God's Word

What is the role of a grandparent? While the world says it's time to retire and relax, Scripture paints a different picture. Grandparents have an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of their grandchildren and leave a lasting heritage for their families that will bless generations to come.

Biblical Grandparenting explains culture's misleading messages about grandparenting, provides a biblical overview of the role of grandparents, and shares groundbreaking research that will give students, pastors, and future leaders a vision to impact the next generation for Christ. In addition, this book offers practical methods to disciple grandchildren and navigate the grandparent's place in the family.

"I give my highest endorsement to this much-needed book. Rarely do we find thinking this prophetic, original, scholarly, and biblical in one place. I hope it will be widely read, discussed, and responded to in ways that change the very fabric of this country and the grandparenting culture."
