Forming Families, Forming Saints
This book is a true gift for parents. Father Carter Griffin, a seminary rector, masterfully draws parallels between seminary formation and family life, emphasizing the importance of building a strong identity based on our being made in the image and likeness of God.
The book is organised in a well-structured manner as it discusses the four main pillars of formation – human (virtues), spiritual, intellectual and apostolic.
Fr Carter insightfully identifies the challenges and opportunities of our modern world and offers practical tips on how parents can guide their children to grow in virtue and Christ-likeness, formed by the teachings of Mother Church and supported by the intercession of holy friends in heaven.
It is remarkable how he balances clear catechesis with practical tips, infused with stories of many beloved saints.
“Forming Families, Forming Saints” is not only rich in content but also beautifully presented and well designed, which makes for an easy and enjoyable read from cover to cover.
A simple yet profound and comprehensive resource, it’s an invaluable tool for parents seeking to foster a faith-filled family environment and help our children go to heaven. Highly recommended!
