Publisher's Description
You thought you were done raising children. But now, unexpectedly, your child isn't able to raise their own kids, so you step up to fill in the gap. But what comes next? Do you have the energy to get the job done? Are you equipped in this ever-changing world? And will you be able to help your grandchildren draw close to the God you love? In Raising Your Grandchildren, you'll discover the practical tools as well as the encouragement you need to find hope in Christ and strength for the journey. With wisdom and compassion, this book focuses on common emotional and spiritual challenges, and along the way readers will hear true stories from other grandparents going down this road themselves. No one expects to be a grandparent raising a grandchild, and it can be a daunting task. But take courage--it can also be a blessing. Let this book be your guide to finding hope and joy in the journey.

“In Raising Your Grandchildren, Cavin Harper offers a much-needed theological perspective into parenting as a grandparent, offering hope to those who are suddenly thrust into the unexpected role of rearing their children’s children. Recognizing the hardships of older adults caring full-time for the young, he also shows how the eternal benefits for both grandparents and grandchildren far outweigh the temporary difficulties. I highly recommend this honest, hopeful, and insightful guide.”
“Cavin Harper is truly the father of the grandparenting movement in this country. Raising Your Grandchildren is outstanding! It is a no-nonsense read that gets straight to the point. I think this book would help any grandparent raising their own grandchildren.”
“Cavin’s book gives voice and encouragement to a growing group of underserved and misunderstood grandparents who are unexpectedly parenting for the second time around. It is compassionate and truth-filled. In a confusing and often heartbreaking world, Cavin reminds us to go to the only true source of hope—God’s Word.”
“As a friend and grandparent who has known and watched Cavin Harper’s passion for equipping grandparents over the past twenty years, I enthusiastically recommend his book, Raising Your Grandchildren, as a biblical and practical guide for leaving a legacy to the next generation.”
“If you are a grandparent raising your grandchildren, Cavin’s words are full of practical guidance, but more than that, they provide grace-filled hope that our Good Shepherd is with you every step of the way. If you are a ministry leader, I pray this book opens your eyes and hearts to these families who are sitting in your pews.”
