Real Life Real Families: Listen & Talk Series 1

Each family is as unique as the individuals who make it up. Yet all families face challenges, and sometimes even serious problems. This faith-based curriculum will help participants learn from the real-life experiences of others, and encourage them in addressing family needs or problems in healthy ways.

Recommended for small groups, Sunday school, or parenting classes, each of these twelve ready-to-use sessions focuses on a different issue facing families. Each session features audio interviews with people who have either faced the issue themselves or are experts on the issue, and commentary. Also included is a study guide with Bible texts, prayers, and discussion and activities to draw participants into each topic.

Session Topics:

• Lasting Marriage
• Getting Along in Families
• Families under Construction
• Family Stories and Memories
• Surviving Parenting
• Parenting after Divorce

• Media Perils and Possibilities
