Great Books to Disciple Your Kids (and You)
Discipling our children in a broken world is no easy task. It is not just that we often fail to intentionally disciple our kids with the good news of the gospel, but sometimes we are not even aware what resources to use. It can feel a bit crippling when there are so many options available without knowing which ones are good. The Christ City Staff team has worked to compile a list of resources for a variety of age groups that you may find helpful in discipling your children.
