How to Lead Your Child to Christ. Luis Palau, Pat Palau.  Multnomah Publishers Inc., 1991.
God has no grandchildren. Every person must choose to accept Jesus Christ as his or her Savior.
And your child doesn't need to wait for adulthood to make this most important decision. But how do you
go about presenting the Gospel to your child so that you know she understands? How much does a boy
or girl need to know to make an intelligent, valid decision?
That's what this booklet is all about, written from our experience as parents of four boys, grandparents,
and with 30 years of crusade evangelism--always including children. Believe me, nothing is more thrilling
than when your child puts his trust in Jesus Christ.       Amazon Books
