Frogs Without Legs Can't Hear: Nuturing Disciples in Home and Congregation
David W. Anderson and Paul Hill

Home is Church and Church is Home. We should be living our lives and presesnting this faith to our young people. Faith is all-encompassing. It doesn't stop when we leave the church building. This book is about the ways that we as adults can find our faith and teach it, through example, to our children. "Church" should include all aspects of our life. "Church" is the congregation, not just the building. Children learn their faith more from feeling than from learing in a classroom. We need to model our faith. We need to "walk the talk."
The authors begin this book with this story: A scientist surgically removes all of a frog's legs one at a time in order find if the frog can jump without them. After each removal, the scientist screams at the frog to, "Jump." After the removal of the last leg, the scientis again yells at the frog, but the frog does not jump. The scientist's conclussion: Frogs without legs can't hear.
They relate this story to the church; head is the leadership, torso is the congregation, and the legs are the mobiliy of the church into the wider world.
We find churches are too often self contained without venturing into the world other than to send money for a charity or mission. We find too often that members of churches tend to forget to pass on faith to the growing members. We too often find members who have forgotten that faith does not stop at the doors, but should follow us every minute of everyday, wherever we may be.
