According to Pew Research Center, nearly a third of Americans no longer have any religious affiliation. To prevent further decline, author John Wood believes Catholic parents are called upon more than ever to properly educate their children in the faith. <\/p>\n
His new book \u201cThe Light Entrusted to You: Keeping the Flame of Faith Alive\u201d is a guide for implementing Catholic elements into families at various stages in a child's development. <\/p>\n
JOHN R. WOOD<\/strong> \u201cTo create a kind of 'saints-in-the-making university,' because our goal and dream for our kids is to raise saints. It's not just a book, it's supposed to be a program to walk with the parents on their journey as that child is raised in the home to help them learn and love the faith and then go out and share it with the rest of the world.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The titles of the book's six sections form the acronym \u201cSAINTS.\u201d Whether reading the \u201cAthletics\u201d section or \u201cNeed To Know Him,\u201d information is presented in a conversational tone, as Wood assures he's just a normal Catholic parent. Although he never considered himself a writer, positive response to his parish talks prompted him to put his thoughts on paper. <\/p>\n JOHN R. WOOD<\/strong> \u201cPeople wanted to know, 'Where did your passion, where did your zeal for your Catholic faith, your knowledge of your Catholic faith, where did it all come from?' I wanted to share those resources that have helped me as a lay person without that theology degree to learn and fall in love with my faith.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n As more and more young people leave the Church, Wood wants fellow parents to develop that same zeal for their faith and properly spark the same flame in their children's hearts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" April 22, 2018. \u201cThe Light Entrusted To You\u201d is a reference manual for parents looking to pass on their faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":23437,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[],"acf":{"video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WxR18a23T78","video_descarga":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/blightentrustedeng.mp4","international_url":"http:\/\/attuale.romereports.com\/news\/blightentrustedint.mp4","type":"rrp","newsletter":"si"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49479"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.romereports.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
