Brick by Brick

Building a Strong Family That Won't Lose Their Faith in a Secular Culture

About this item

Catholic parents who fear that their teens and adult children may leave the Faith will welcome Brick by Brick, the encouraging story of André and Angèle Regnier, whose five adult children don’t merely continue to go to Mass but have all even become Catholic missionaries!

Better yet, concerned parents will learn from these remarkable pages how they, too, can raise their children to have a similar personal relationship with Jesus, live their Faith dynamically, and have evangelistic hearts—even while remaining ordinary, well-rounded, approachable people passionate about life in all its aspects.

The Regnier parents are often asked, “How did you do it? How did you raise children who are so active in sharing and living their Faith?”

Here you’ll hear the answer from each member of the family, parents and children. From their many voices, real-life stories, and often amusing anecdotes emerge many wise principles and sure methods you can adapt to your own circumstances: family-proven best practices for raising children strong in the Faith.

A beautiful testimony and practical advice

I ordered this book as a young woman of faith who hopes to have children in the future. Before reading this book beautifully written by the Regnier Family, I had many concerns about raising children in such a secular culture with the hopes that they would maintain their faith. The Regniers focus on the importance of putting a relationship with Jesus at the centre of all that you do to raise children with missionary hearts. They share realities and hardships while offering practical advice. I will definitely be referring back to this book for years to come! Everyone who hopes for an increase in children who keep their faith and live it out boldly should read this book.

A book that all parents need to read!

So beautiful! As a women who desires to have a family in the future I was very struck by the Regnier's authenticity. I also really appreciated how practical and clear they are throughout the whole book. I left feeling encouraged in my desire to raise missionary disciples in the future! I encourage all parents to read this book!

I found it hard to stop reading BRICK by BRICK; as a grandma, I kept saying in my heart " AMEN to that!". I could see how the modelling of genuine love and joy in relationships with God and family (infused with respect and beautiful tradition) will nurture a longing for our children to share the GOOD NEWS with all generations !

Encouraging for new parents!

My wife and I are expecting our first child soon, and this book could not be more helpful in encouraging us to be ready to raise our children! I'd recommend this for anyone with a family or planning to have a family.

Practical, funny, inspiring.

Easy to read, funny and very inspiring. As a mom of a young toddler, I look forward to implementing suggestions made by the Regnier family to not only raise a faithful child but a missionary disciple.
