We sincerely trust that The Holy Spirit for Children, which includes a guide for parents to understand the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit better, will assist parents in sharing their journey of faith with their sons and daughters. It is the authors' conviction that the earlier in life one encounters the reality of the Holy Spirit, the better for the individual and the church throughout their lifetimes. Children who mature in their faith with knowledge of the Holy Spirit will be led by the Spirit and shaped into a genuine commitment to discipleship. Parents are responsible for the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual maturation of their children from day one. As Christian parents, we owe it to our children to be authentic in developing a climate of understanding that facilitates a personal relationship with the Triune God.
