Will Our Faith Have Any Children?
No matter your age, faith can be tough to define and even more difficult to quantify and measure. In the New Testament, the writer of Hebrews calls it an evidence of something unseen, and James the brother of Jesus explains that faith must have works or it is dead. So faith isn't something we can see, but it does produce results.
Dudley Chancey believes every Christian should take an active role in cultivating their own faith and helping others, especially the young, to grow. Grounded in academic research, Keep Faith Alive offers a careful look at what today's grandparents understand about faith and their role in society. He offers actionable steps for fostering a deep, lasting spiritual legacy. With a focus on storytelling, prayer, and practical advice, he equips grandparents to make a meaningful, intentional impact on their grandchildren's faith journeys, ensuring their lives are filled with purpose and spiritual richness.

"Grandparents are our best-kept secret in faith formation! Dudley Chancey has uncovered the secret with a timely and important book-grounded in research and filled with wisdom and insight and ideas.

"Chancey has given grandparents, their children, and their grandchildren an incredible resource within the pages of Keep Faith Alive. His research provides a treasure trove of spiritual, emotional, and practical insights that will help grandparents of all ages walk alongside their grandchildren and engage them prayerfully and conversationally in the great things God has done and is doing in our world. In addition, his counsel regarding boundaries, overall health, and our own spiritual journey as grandparents provides actionable steps for strengthening and growing our relationship with God, our children, and our grandchildren.
