Every child―from infancy to adolescence―is being discipled by someone or something. The question is: Are you willing to disciple them for Jesus' sake? Accessible and actionable for parents of children birth to 13 years old, Raising Disciples offers a detailed discipleship map and directional markers to nurture your child's spiritual growth with Christ. During her more than 25 years in children's ministry alongside her academic work training up children's ministry leaders, Dr. Teresa Roberts noticed that parents and even children's ministry leaders seemed to struggle with knowing how to disciple children past the more-intuitive preschool ages. A foundational family and ministry resource, Raising Disciples reflects the developmental needs that will empower children to grow in their knowledge of God's Word, develop a vocabulary of faith, engage in spiritual practices, and cultivate a deep, personal relationship with God. Raising Disciples is a must-have resource to give you a discipleship pathway for raising spiritually grounded children in today's complex world. Dr. Teresa Roberts is Professor of Ministry and Spiritual Formation, Program Director of Children's Ministry, and a vice president at Ozark Christian College. She is an expert in children's spiritual formation with more than 25 years of ministry experience. Dr. Roberts holds a Master of Arts in Family and Youth Ministry, a Master of Divinity, and a Doctor of Ministry. She serves in children's ministry at Carterville Christian Church where she attends with her husband and step-daughter.
