Dreams for Your Grandchild: The Hidden Power of a Catholic Grandparent

by Allen R. Hunt

Every Catholic grandparent dreams of having grandchildren who grow up to be healthy, happy, and, most of all, vibrant in their faith. But with so many influences competing for our grandkids, we might begin to doubt that such a thing is possible. We might wonder how much of an impact we really have. I'm worried about my grandchildren. They don't go to Mass. Is there anything I can do? Do I, as a grandparent, truly have the power to make a difference in my grandkids' lives? Allen Hunt answers these questions with a confident "Yes." In this clear, easy-to-read book, the popular speaker and author shows that a grandparent can be one of the greatest influences on a child's spiritual life, and he offers concrete ways to help grandparents make the most of this opportunity. With an abundance of key ideas, reflection questions, action steps, prayers, and tools, he charts a course that grandparents will find easy and natural to follow in order to enhance their relationship with their grandchildren and introduce them to a vibrant faith life. To any grandparent who has ever felt helpless in the face of a changing and often toxic world, Dreams for Your Grandchild offers the encouragement and the direction you've been looking for, whether your grandchildren are toddlers or teens. Perfect for grandparents or grandparents-to-be, this book celebrates the richness of family life and brings generations together.

About the author

Dr. Allen Hunt and his team are pursuing a vision to build a nationwide talk radio show on mainstream stations to create a place where real life and faith come together. The Allen Hunt Show focuses not on what's right and left but on what's right and wrong. Allen has been named to Talkers Magazine's prestigious list of the 100 heavy hitters in talk radio, receiving a ranking unprecedented for a newcomer in the industry.

Hunt stepped aside July 1, 2007 from his role as Senior Minister at Mount Pisgah, a United Methodist congregation serving more than 15,000 persons each week through its ministries in Alpharetta, Georgia.

On January 6, 2008, on the Feast of the Epiphany, Allen converted to Catholicism. This transition represented the culmination of a 15 year journey in which God began leading Allen home to the Church.

Allen and his wife, Anita, live in Atlanta, Georgia, and have two daughters, SarahAnn and Griffin Elizabeth.

This book is a non nonsense guide on how to pass your faith on to your grandchildren without “preaching” to them! Allen Hunt delivers seven easy steps! Throughout reading this book I wished I had read this as a parent when my own children were young! We get so sidetracked remembering what is really important and this book helped me see the pass ahead clear! The beginning is easy! Love your grandchildren unconditionally!
Highly recommend!!
