Dreams for Your Grandchild

Book excerpt: The book addresses the pain grandparents feel about their grandchildren, the worry and anxiety they feel that their grandchildren's future will not include the Catholic faith-or any faith at all-and explains what can be done about this. Hunt affirms the importance and signifigance of a grandparent and shows how their role is even more important today than in generations past. His inspiring message to grandparents is: You can do this-failure is not an option and apathy is unacceptable. You can and must fight the culture's pull where your grandchildren are concerned, because whoever wants your grandchildren most will get them. Grandparents will see themselves as key influencers in their grandchildren's lives, and a major predictor in their futures, second only to parents (and in many instances, even more influential, as research proves).
