Most people have heard the exhortation that merely attending Sunday Mass with the family is not enough for a fulfilling spiritual family life. We know that we need to make time for spiritual development, but "knowing" and "doing" are two completely different things. In Making Faith Fun, Amy Viets points out that perhaps trying to carve out a block of time for family spirituality is a mistake. To "weave faith into the mesh of our lives," she provides activities and games that can be done each day with kids, from infants and toddlers up through preteens. Chapters are organized by age groups and based on such everyday routines as:

• On the Road
• Chore Time
• The Great
• At the Store
• While You Wait
• Outdoors Around the Table
• Bedtime Special Occasions
