Title: Not for the liturgical life and unoriginal to boot
Product review: This booklet's ideas for family times are quite uncreative-- things like playdoh time, drawing time, etc. are nothing parents couldn't have figured out on their own. Furthermore the ideas for making audio-tapes are only good if you are one of the few who still owns an audio-tape player. What most turned me off by the book, however, was the suggestions for teaching your kids to sit perfectly still and silently for long periods of time to prepare them for "church." As a Lutheran, I don't believe in teaching my kids to quietly observe worship, but to actively participate in the liturgy, hymns, prayer, the Lord's Supper, etc. Whether or not they can sit still for preaching isn't the heart of the worship experience for adults or children.
