"The Power of God at Home invites us to move beyond the mechanics of parenting and explore the spiritual practice of creating a family and home that nurture faith and ground identity. It weaves together essential ingredients (the biblical story, a realistic understanding of today's family, and concrete suggestions for how to begin) for helping parents and caring adults give our children the moral start they need in life." -- Marian Wright Edelman, president, Children's Defense Fund "This highly engaging book brings fresh new insights to the difficult task of helping parents instruct their children in religious faith. Wigger weaves insights from his own family with reflections on biblical stories. The result is a retelling of the stories that shows how richly they can add to any child's experience of the dynamics of family life. Parents, pastors, and religious educators will benefit from this valuable book." -- Robert Wuthnow, director, Center for the Study of Religion, Princeton University "With clear and compelling descriptions Brad Wigger makes available a rich set of resources within the Christian tradition, the Bible, and communities of faith to strengthen the sacred rhythms of family and religion. He provides a theological and biblical primer that many of us within the church have looked for as we seek to be teachers and spiritual guides to our children.
