The Disciple Making Grandparent: A Guidebook for Helping Your Grandchild Trust and Follow Jesus, by David Upchurch & Daniel McCoy
AN INVITATION TO STAY IN THE GAME
“David and Daniel have captured the passion, the imagination, and the tone that grandparents need as they invest and love well the generation that means so much to them.”
—Randy and Julie Gariss, Retired Directors of Life and Ministry Preparation Center at Ozark Christian College
Your grandkids have peers, possessions, phones, podcasts, and planners. What more could they need? They need you. In an anxious, confusing world, kids need a steady flow of honest wisdom from older people. They need unhurried conversation with people who care about them, not social status or the latest fashion. They need stories of God’s faithfulness through difficult seasons. What they need is disciple making grandparents.
What steps can a grandparent take to be a disciple making presence in their grandkids’ lives? In The Disciple Making Grandparent, authors Upchurch and McCoy, along with grandparenting couples they interview, walk you through
- How to make room for your grandkid (with John and Louise Whittaker)
- How to connect with your grandkid (with Terry and Carol Stine)
- How to give what counts to your grandkid (with Ken and Kaylene Idleman)
- How to speak truth to your grandkid (with Bob and Judy Russell)
Let this guidebook prepare you to pass along the most important legacy you could ever leave behind.
