“Faith Begins at Home is packed full of good biblical teaching, family activities and small-group discussion ideas to help you in building strong families. I strongly recommend this book.”
Dr. Bill Hossler
“Recent surveys of the evangelical Christian community by The Barna Group and Newsweek/Beliefnet indicate that our conservative, traditional theological views of the faith could be in jeopardy. I agree with Mark Holmen that it is critically important to teach our children a biblical worldview. The message in Mark’s book stresses the importance of beginning this process in the home. My prayer as you read this book is that you and your children will be strengthened in your walk of faith.”
“President, Wycliffe Bible Translators USA Pastor Holmen connects personal story, family practice of faith and biblical plan and direction to the home. He challenges senior pastors and congregations to move into partnership with the home as the primary place to nurture faith! Parents and other adult caregivers will also find the practical applications in each chapter of this book to be a great tool for use with their families.”
Dr. Dick Hardel
“PRAISE FOR Faith Begins at Home Christian parents have a complex and stressful responsibility to pass faith on to their children. Mark Holmen gives families a language and the needed practical tools to communicate faith in Jesus to our children.”
Rev. T. J. Anderson
“With an alarming number of children leaving the Christian faith in their college and young adult years, it’s time to reevaluate how we do church. It’s time for the church to begin equipping parents—especially fathers—to bring up their children in the training and instruction of the Lord. Mark Holmen’s book is a practical, balanced and fresh approach to family ministry that every church leader and Christian parent will want to read.”
“Director, Family Ministries Southeast Christian Church, Louisville, Kentucky Coauthor, When God Builds a Church Brimming with biblically based common sense, Mark Holmen offers the modern family a model and practical steps on growing faith at home. I especially appreciated his strategy of a church-home partnership.”
