"My friend CeCe Winans is a gifted and beloved Gospel recording artist, and she has written a new book that is refreshing and needed today. In a culture that is heavy-laden with failed marriages and broken homes, CeCe writes about the hope that Jesus Christ brings into family life when parents and children honor the Lord through obedience to His Word. Her own story will inspire and capture anew what happens when Christ is put at the center of our hearts and homes. No matter what has happened in life, it is never too late to 'Believe for It.'"

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this melodious manual, Grammy Award–winning gospel singer Winans (Throne Room) aims to foster intergenerational conversations about faith. "The rising generation is meant to follow the faithful example of the generations who have gone before," Winans contends, and to that end she offers personal anecdotes and advice on how to pass on Christianity to younger generations. She emphasizes prioritizing church, recounting the community it provided for her while growing up and warning that making church "optional" risks signaling that it's not important. "Planting seeds of faith" in the next generation requires close relationships characterized by fun, longevity, meekness, and warmth, Winans posits, telling how her parents modeled meekness by asking her for forgiveness if they erred. Encouraging readers to remember to tend to their own faith, Winans shares how her brother's death at age 48 devastated her and how she kept her faith even as she struggled to understand God's intentions. She quotes from Ephesians and the Gospel of John to argue that the Holy Spirit "guides the believer into truth" and helps Christians act in accordance with God. Winans's fans will appreciate the bounty of autobiographical material, and the advice benefits from her optimistic tone. This hits the right notes.
