This is a simple, yet practical guide for parents about how to start and implement the family faith learning. Some might say it covers only the basics - and yet, these basics in reality are all that is needed! Because you can not "teach" faith as a school subject, its ways are both more mysterious and more simple. Learning by giving the honest example is often the most working way.
I would say that this guide covers all the main spots and its simplicity it actually addresses all what is basically needed to address (of course, for same concrete questions, say concerning the Catholic teaching about sexuality, one should refer to specialized book).
The language is warm and user-friendly and there are also recommendations for more resources in every chapter.

I would recommend this book as a basic yet working guide for all parents.

Did not finish. Tried getting into it a few times and just could not. I am sorry but cannot review because did not finish.

Once-local author Marc Cardaronella, who previously worked in evangelization in the diocese of Peoria, has written a remarkable new book called, Keep Your Kids Catholic: Sharing Your Faith and Making It Stick. [Cardaronella is now director of the Bishop Helmsing Institute for Faith Formation at the Diocese of Kansas City–St. Joseph, Missouri.]

The title of Keep Your Kids Catholic gave me the most worry, since any kind of parenting book or advice always strikes fear and sometimes amusement into the heart of many parents, myself included. Perhaps it’s because I, like so many others before me, vowed when I didn’t have kids that I would parent differently (and so much better) than all the parents I saw around me. You know, the statements like “my child will never eat candy before lunch” or “my children will never interrupt two grown-ups having a conversation.” Etc. And then you laugh at your younger self.

Keep Your Kids Catholic is by no means one of that kind of book. It could be titled, Keep Yourself Catholic more than anything else, since Cardaronella stresses the importance of personal witness and a vibrant Catholic home environment as being vital to fostering faith among young people.
