About

Today's families are big on commitment but short on time. We are inundated with enticing technology, an abundance of activities, and too many events to count. There doesn't seem to be much family time left, does there? With our schedules overflowing and anxiety weighing us down, how do we find family balance and connect with each other? How do we raise healthy families in the midst of our modern world?

In Faith and the Modern Family, Craig Jutila offers sound advice for today's modern family and today's modern parents! Craig will guide you through the steps of setting a healthy life pace for your family, including setting priorities, modeling the behavior you want from your children, and planning for your family's future. Also included are downloadable resources--such as "Four Steps on Your Faith Journey" and "Rules for Maintaining a Healthy Social Media Account"--that you can use again and again.

With faith and some expert advice, you can stay connected to your modern family in a healthy way!

From dealing with bad behavior to guidance on carving out time for what's most important, from protecting your child online to helping them find their purpose, this book is filled with humor, 'I've been there' stories, and biblical principles that will guide your modern family towards God's best--even in our broken world.
