Inspiring & Practical

Step Up is an outstanding and much-needed resource for our time. Louise Cole has written a warm, wise, and deeply biblical guide that speaks directly to the heart of every grandparent who longs to make a lasting spiritual impact on their grandchildren. In an age of cultural confusion and family fragmentation, this book arrives as both a timely challenge and a practical lifeline.

What makes Step Up truly special is its remarkable balance of inspiration and application. With rich storytelling, age-specific mentoring tools, and a companion Study Guide filled with ready-to-use activities, it equips grandparents across every season of life. This is not a book that will sit on the shelf; it is a work that will be lived out in homes, passed between generations, and treasured for decades to come.

I believe Step Up has the potential to become a classic in Christian family literature. It is a beautiful, timely, and enduring gift to the Church and to every grandparent ready to answer God’s call.

Highly recommended.

A Godsend in time of trial

This book was a true Godsend during one of the most challenging seasons of my life. As I watched my sweet granddaughter spiral into trouble and distance herself from the family, its practical wisdom and compassionate guidance helped me understand her struggles without losing my own peace. I learned how to communicate with her more effectively, set loving boundaries, and rebuild our bond one small step at a time. Thank you for writing a book that gave this worried grandmother hope and the tools to make a real difference. I recommend it to every grandparent walking this road. – Lesli Darrow
