When You Are a Grandparent (Handing on the Faith)

Rating:
Summary: a weaker entry in the series
Review: This is another volume in the Handing on the Faith series. This is a weaker volume in that it makes many assumptions about family relationships that may not translate into specific family situations: it makes little allowance for families in which the grandparents converted to Catholicism, for single parent families, for mixed marriages. It makes more allowance for the parents' (rather than grandparents') generation primarily in terms of non-practicing Catholics.

However, for traditional families dealing with handing on the faith in support of (or in spite of) parental religious education especially where physical distance presents a barrier, this volume is useful.
