A You-Can-Totally-Do-This Guide to Teaching Spiritual Life Skills That Last

As mom to a work-in-progress family of six, author Janel Breitenstein knows too well the chaos of life with the lid off. She understands how skeptical you are of shoehorning more into carpool-packed days and just trying to get kids to put socks in the hamper.
 
But as a missionary, she also understands the urgent need to cultivate unerasable habits that prepare kids for a bold relationship with Jesus.

If you’re a parent looking for doable, out-of-the-box ways to disciple your children, Permanent Markers is a resource you’ll seek again and again. Find…

  • age-appropriate, uber-easy ideas and activities that will draw kids toward God
  • questions to kickstart meaningful conversations, along with journaling prompts for both you and your kids
  • hands-on life skills for teaching kids what the world often rejects—like community, self-control, humility, and Christ-anchored identity
  • small-group discussion questions and lists of additional resources

Permanent Markers empowers you to engage kids in vibrant spirituality, leaving this work of art up to God. You’ll find a practical, fun handbook for the most vital, eternal part of parenting.
