Getting it to Stick: A Parent's Devotional to Incorporate God's Word Into the Life of Your Teen

The Bible tells us to train up a child in the way he should go; but church once a week isn't enough. As adults, we know how studying the Bible can be a challenge at times, so leaving your child on their own to do devotionals and read The Word may not be practical. However, the Bible tells us that success comes by meditating on The Word day and night...so, how does a parent begin to get The Word written onto their child's heart? This devotional gives parents a God inspired game plan to incorporate the study and application of God's Word in everyday life. By addressing relevant topics with Biblical truth and real life discussions, it creates an open atmosphere of teaching and learning for both the parent and the child.

Review :
With all of the noise filling teenagers heads through social media it is hard for parents to know how to help teenagers not only hear but believe God's truths for their lives. In her book Getting It To Stick, Debbie Bailey offers practical yet profound tips for ways to help keep our kids rooted in the Word of God. Rev. Jenny Trees, Pastor of Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Director, Walnut Creek, CA Getting It to Stick is a wonderfully practical and creative resource to get our kids and grandkids into God's Word. It will change their lives and yours. Highly recommended! Marlene Bagnull, Author, Speaker, Editor, Publisher Ampelos Press, Director of Write His Answer Ministries Finally, a family devotion that provides a pastoral resource for us parents who want a quick and simple plan to have scripture be the center of our kid's day. I am so glad there are people out there like Debbie, who can thoughtfully organize scripture themes so I can focus on being pastoral with my children and pray for them.
