Ignite the Fire: Kindling a Passion for Christ in Your Kids - Softcover

The circumstances that brought this book into existence are compelling—a couple who loved each other, parents who placed Jesus in the center of their home, children who responded to love and discipline, and their mother who died while the book was being written.

Most parents ask the question: “What can I do to help my children turn out right?” In Ignite the Fire, Barry and Carol St. Clair suggest a better question: “What can I do to help my children love Jesus more?” This book offers

10 actions that parents can take to help motivate our children to pursue Jesus.

“Barry St. Clair led me to Christ when I was a teenager, and he has been the most important role model in my life since 1974. For years I watched him love his wife and disciple his four children. Now that I have four children of my own, I often ask, ‘How would Barry and Carol handle this?’ There are no perfect parents, but I can think of no one more qualified to instruct Christians in how to raise godly kids than Barry and Carol St. Clair. Their children’s lives prove that their message works.”
J. Lee Grady, Editor, Charisma magazine

“What my admired friends Barry and Carol gave their children is one of the most important gifts any parent can give—a passion for living and sharing Christ. Carol’s legacy, despite her seemingly early death, is a reminder that we too should be about the business, right today, of igniting a passion for Christ in our children.”
Evelyn Christenson, Author and international speaker

“Ignite the Fire is a heart-grabbing, extremely practical guidebook for parents, full of love, godly wisdom, and shared human experience. Strongly recommended.”
Bill and Vonette Bright, Founders, Campus Crusade for Christ
