As the grandparents to six grandkids... two of them at a distance, Steve and I found this book both inspiring and helpful. Grandparenting at a distance can leave us feeling as if we arent enough... not there enough, not doing enough, not influencing enough. The practical suggestions from Josh Mulvihill and Wayne Rice will help long-distance grandparents feel like they have a pathway to being long distance, but enough. Great read and excellent help.
Valerie Bell, Awana CEO, and Steve Bell, executive vice president of Willow Creek Association
Words do not adequately express the joy our grandkids have brought us and the sadness we so often feel because they live so far away. This book was a very personal read for me on several levels. Every page brought confirmation of our important role as grandparents and every page brought practical ideas that we started implementing immediately. Wayne Rice is a treasured friend and mentor in my life. I just ordered a box of these books to pass out to friends!

If you are a long-distance grandparent, this is the book for you. Use it to turn the miles between you and your grandkids from an obstacle to an opportunity. Information and activities will help you share your faith in Christ and wisdom you have gainedand have some old-fashioned FUN with your grandkids.

G RANDPARENTING M ATTERS is a series of short books that address common grandparenting problems with biblical solutions and practical ideas. I have the joy of talking with grandparents all over the country about their God-designed role in the lives of children and grandchildren. Regularly, questions arise about how to do what the Bible says in the midst of barriers, problems, and challenges.
Grandparenting is filled with many joys, but it is also filled with unexpected pain and problems. Relational tensions, grandparenting restrictions, adult prodigals, grandparents as parents, divorce, long-distance relationships, and blended families all can cause the heart to ache. When brokenness touches our family, we naturally ask questions about how to navigate the challenges.
There are a growing number of resources for Christian grandparents that address the purpose of grandparenting, but few resources deal with the problem-solving side of family life. We created this series because problems are common, hope is needed, and Gods Word provides guidance that can be applied to our unique situations. This series aims to simultaneously comfort and encourage, to equip and edify, as well as to point the way ahead. If you are discouraged or hurting, then I trust you will be blessed by this series. If you are looking for biblical solutions and practical how-tos, you will find them in these pages.
Weve titled the series G RANDPARENTING M ATTERS because we believe the Bible teaches that the grandparent-grandchild relationship is important and worthy of our time and attention. Grandparents have a significant impact on the spiritual lives of grandchildren second only to that of parents. Our prayer is that the Gospel is proclaimed, God is honored, your family experiences healing and health, and your children and childrens children know, love, and serve Jesus.
Im delighted by the high caliber of authors in this series and the impact these books will have on families for their good and for the glory of God. It has been a tremendous privilege to be partners in Gods grace with these fine authors. I trust you will be blessed by their godly wisdom, gain a renewed hope in God, experience joy in Christ despite trying circumstances, and be better equipped to be a disciple-making grandparent who passes on a heritage of faith to future generations.

I think we can all agree that one of the great joys of growing older is becoming a grandparent!
And sadly, one of the great heartbreaks of grandparenting is when you are separated from your grandchildren for lengthy periods.
They live in another town or another state or even another country. Maybe their mom and dad had to move because of a job opportunity or a military deployment. Or it could have been other family issues (perhaps they moved to be closer to the in-laws), or they had to find more affordable housing, or better weather, or better schools, or better doctors.
Or maybe it was you who had to relocate and suddenly you found yourself many miles away from your children and grandchildren. That can happen toosometimes by choice, and other times out of necessity.
Obviously there are plenty of good (and not so good) reasons why we become long-distance grandparents. In todays mobile society, its very easy these days, and rather likely, for families to move several times during their working years and to move great distances as well. Ill tell you a little bit about my own familys story shortly.
