Sticky Faith delivers positive and practical ideas to nurture within your kids a living, loving faith that lasts a lifetime.
Research indicates that almost half of high school seniors drift from their faith after graduation.
Struck by this staggering statistic, and recognizing its ramifications, the Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) conducted the "College Transition Project" in an effort to identify the relationships and best practices that can set young people on a trajectory of lifelong faith and service.
This easy-to-read guide presents both a compelling rationale and a powerful strategy to show parents how to actively encourage their children’s spiritual growth so that it will stick with them into adulthood and empower them to develop a living, lasting faith.
Written by Fuller Youth Institute Executive Director Dr. Kara E. Powell and youth expert Chap Clark--authors known for the integrity of their research and the intensity of their passion for young people--Sticky Faith is geared to spark a movement that empowers adults to develop robust and long-term faith in kids of all ages.
Further engage your family and church with the Sticky Faith Guide for Your Family, Sticky Faith curriculum, and Sticky Faith youth worker edition. Sticky Faith is also available in Spanish, Cómo criar jóvenes de fe sólida.

"It is a good read. Filled with lots of good practical ideas bouyed by theology and surveys from actual teens. It's main audience is youth directors but I think both parents and family ministers can find a lot of helpful information as well."
— Pam (4 out of 5 stars)
" A quick, insightful, challenging, and hopeful read. Highly recommend for parents who want some real, and realistic, tools for helping a child grow into spiritual maturity. "
— Erin, 12/11/2013" Great read for parents and those working with youth. Although it took me a while to get through the book, the principles are good and it also supplied an abundance of ideas to put them into practice. "
— Nicole, 12/8/2013" I thought this was for parents of elem kids but it's really geared toward high school. Still a great read and had some great practical ideas that can start now with my kids "
— Angel, 10/24/2013" Solid book. Wanted to give it 3.5 stars so I'm airing on the side of grace. Would recommend this to any parent who is raising kids though. Good ethical direction for families and great practical advice for raising Godly young people. "
— Kory, 7/25/2013" If you are concerned about or want to be proactive toward the faith of the next generation, the book Sticky Faith is a good read. You'll find a wealth of practical ideas that will help you build relationships and grow closer to your own children, as well as those within your realm of influence. "
— Kevin, 5/28/2013" Excellent read suggesting that instead of an adult to 15 ration for youth that you have five adults mentoring or parenting each youth "
— Scott, 4/11/2013" Very good. I recommend it for every parent. "
— Gary, 2/16/2013" Great challenge to parents to keep pursuing faith for our children and to make the faith they have stick throughout life. "
— Michelle, 2/5/2013" Great book to read if you want to have kids, have kids, have grand kids, or work with kids! "
— Jessi, 1/26/2013" A phenomenal book! I'd recommend this to anyone with kids or who works with kids. Even if you don't fall into either of those categories, some of the chapters are still worth reading (like the "Sticky Gospel" chapter!). "
— Scott, 10/29/2012" Most important takeaway for me: teenagers still need time with parents (even when eye-rolling) and they benefit greatly from solid relationships with other healthy adults/mentors. "
— Sue, 10/14/2012" Valuable info for all parents! "
— Chris, 2/17/2012" I liked the idea and the information, but ultimately came away thinking that this author, even with her research, is still guessing at solutions to an ever-daunting problem. "
