Summary

In this inspiring parenting book, learn how to create space for your children to get to know God in a way that focuses on trust instead of a list of rigid rules.

Most Christian parenting books are ready with exact practices every family should follow in order to raise obedient children. In this obedience-training model, faith is a wall, constructed brick by brick, as adults tell children what to believe and how to behave.

Critics Review

“Woven is for every parent who feels overwhelmed and undertrained - meaning all of us. Based on her stellar research and real life experience, Meredith Miller offers parents of children a winning combination for family faith formation: Biblical wisdom translated into everyday ideas that you and I can try at home.”–Kara Powell, PhD, Chief of Leadership Formation at Fuller Seminary and co-author of 3 Big Questions That Change Your Teenager“Woven took my shriveled, prune-like confidence in raising my kids within a healthy Christian framework and nurtured it into a big, fat, juicy confidence plum. If you are someone who is actively re-learning and re-engaging their faith alongside their children, Meredith’s words will give you the tools and courage to have challenging, faith-based conversations with your kids, even when you yourself don’t have all the answers.” –Kelly Bandas, author of Rookie Mistakes: A Grown Up’s Field Guide for Getting your Act Together“A clear and kind guide for those of us attempting to disentangle our faith while raising kids in that faith. Meredith helps parents hand down a faith not based on obedience to a checklist, but trust in a God who desires a relationship. If you are searching for a way forward after deconstruction or disenchantment, there is no better co-pilot than this book, and truthfully, anything Meredith puts out into the world.”–Erin Moon, co-host of the Bible Binge podcast“At last, an alternative to confusion and fear. Woven is the new classic we’ve been waiting for. Meredith Miller gives us practical tools, presents a clear path forward, and reminds us it’s never too late to change course. I want to put this book in the hands of every Jesus-loving parent I know.” –Shannan Martin, author of Start with Hello and The Ministry of Ordinary Places“I’ve never read a Christian parenting book quite like Woven - and I’m so grateful to have it now. Woven is a guiding light for our times and our real lives…. Woven helps us untangle Christ from culture and reminds us who God is - and how that can inform how we nurture and care for the faith lives of our families. I highlighted and underlined my way through this thoughtful, theological, and highly accessible book.” –Kayla Craig, author of Every Season Sacred and To Light Their Way; creator of Liturgies for Parents on Instagram“Parenting is difficult and beautiful, and adding faith to the mix just makes it more of both. When I started reading Woven, I wept with relief. Literal tears. I didn’t realize the desert I was in until Meredith Miller offered me water. This book is an absolute gift, and I will now aggressively press it into as many hands as possible.” –Kendra Adachi, New York Times bestselling author of The Lazy Genius Way and The Lazy Genius Kitchen“The compassionate, experienced guide we needed all along as we reimagine faith formation with generosity and love.” –Sarah Bessey, New York Times bestselling author of A Rhythm of Prayer and Jesus Feminist
