Who or what is a grandparent? How do you see your role? If you're serious about your role as grandparent- if you want to impact your grandkids lives and their faith-if you want to build a rich legacy of faith for future generations, here's the road map.

There is plenty of content to sink your teeth into in this book. You'll find 4 parts to the consider: Cultural Messages, God's Design, Discipleship Practices and Strengthening Relationships.

The book also highlights some important points, things that we should keep before us as a reminder.
a) Being a good grandparent is not good enough
b) My soul's condition shapes the impact of my legacy
c) I don't have all the answers
d) Providing a safe place is more important than proving my point
e) My life is short, but my legacy is not.
f) Nothing is more important than praying for my grandchildren.

The last point, in particular, is a helpful reminder. Sometimes, the best and only thing you can do as a grandparent is to continue to pray for your grandchildren. Prayer is not an extra; it's an essential method to reach and disciple your family.

While we love our new role as grandparent, our culture seeks to trivialise our influence. But throughout the book you are reminded of the importance of grandparents. God created grandparents to play a crucial role in the spiritual development of grandchildren by linking arms with parents to work toward the same goal of raising future generations to know, love and serve Jesus.

It's never been easy to raise a family but it seems especially difficult now. Grandparents have a crucial role in nurturing and building families- an ongoing legacy. I'd recommend this book to anyone who seeks to embrace their God-given role as grandparent and strives to pass on a heritage of faith to their family. The book includes a Grandparent Declaration, designed to encourage you to honestly commit to becoming more than just a grandparent- a Christian grandparent and a legacy builder. - Full review atgrandmasplace.com
