Summary

When parents work in tandem with the faith community to raise their children, they increase their parenting capacity exponentially.

They need to know the Orange Factor: Two combined influences will make a greater impact on kids than just two influences. And its true. Parents who partner with the faith community are the best way to bring the next generation into the family of Godand keep them there.
