Only God can give our children a taste for the sweetness of God. Only God can awaken them to his worth. But year in and year out there are traditions that show them: God is our Treasure. After more than 30 years of marriage and childrearing, Noël Piper opens her home to you. She invites you into the happy, imperfect Piper pattern of life. Come with her and enjoy the way she helps us treasure God in our traditions. Read this book online:

Notes
Endorsements
As Christians we long to pass on the faith to the next generation. In this amazingly practical book, Noël Piper gets right to the heart of what we need to pass onto our children and grandchildren. Sometimes we think that being God-centered means that we always live spontaneously. This book reminds us that traditions and patterns woven into the fabric of everyday life can cultivate love for God.
-Tom and Diane Schreiner
Noël Piper offers Christian parents uncommon wisdom and hope in her Treasuring God in Our Traditions. Her vision for a God-centered home and family is both biblical and inspiring, and her many ideas and suggestions (including activities and recipes) offer much food for reflection and application. This parenting guidebook is at once motivational, instructive, practical, and based on a deep and beautiful vision of God.
-Bruce and Jodi Ware
God created us for His glory-and gave us a character that craves traditions. Nevertheless, the frantic pace and highly mobile nature of our society rob many families of any sense of tradition-and any cherished traditions of their own. Noël Piper understands the traditions of the Christian faith and their importance to family and church life. Treasuring God in Our Traditions is a much needed corrective and a wonderful gift to Christians in this age. We must recover as biblical affirmation of faithful traditions in this generation, for God's glory and our joy.
-Al and Mary Mohler
We live in a day when "novelty" is in and "tradition" has become a religious cuss word. Noël Piper reminds us of the beauty of spiritual traditions and their crucial role in the formation of Christ-exalting families. This is a timely and much needed book. If only it had been written sooner!
-Sam and Ann Storms
Treasuring God in Our Traditions offers the reader an intimate glimpse into a remarkable Christian family. This book will lead you and your loved ones to the Ultimate Treasure. Read it-the next generation will thank you!
-Ray and Jani Ortlund
