Much like the book How to Live a Holy Life, this book for parents and caretakers offers simple, loving advice on how they can walk through a life of faith with their children. The book is a quick read and I find that it offers good, practical reminders of the things we should strive to do each day as we raise our children to love God.

These clear and insightful reflections from Children in the Church Today are based on a series of informal talks given to Orthodox Christian parents at the Monastery of St John the Baptist, Essex, England. Directed to parents, young adults, and teenagers, the reflections encompass many aspects of Christian life: Marriage and the Christian Family, Prayer in the Christian Home, the Example of Christian Parents, The Christian Education of Children, Liturgical and Spiritual Life, Leisure Time and Social Life, and Christian Life in the Teen Years. Sister Magdalen's major emphasis is that "if children are conceived, born, and brought up surrounded by prayer and love, they will grow up as spiritual persons and thus fulfill their human vocation."
