Publisher's Synopsis
The Power in Parenting is based on my 40 years of personal life experiences raising my five children, and now seven grandchildren. This book includes biblical principles, I relied on along the way, which empower and enlighten parents in their duties and responsibilities. The biblical references used are reliable and powerful tools that, when applied, results in raising outstanding children and, in a sense, raises outstanding parents. That is the power in parenting! While raising my children, I searched for parental books that would help and encourage me with my parenting, but the few that I located did not quite hit the nail on the head for me. Instead of wallowing in my disappointment, I decided to take notes on the wisdom and lessons I learned along the way. I was determined to help someone else in the future because I would have wanted the same in return. So if you're probably asking yourself, "I wish there were a scriptural manual exclusively about parenting." Look no further, your answer is here!To be successful in parenting, one must understand that it is an art worth mastering. Therefore, this book will serve as a rich resource that will help readers glean first-hand experiences on how to handle parental responsibilities. You will learn several lessons such as, how to avoid major parenting mistakes, finding the joy in parenting, communicating effectively with your children, how to nurture your child(s) God-given gifts, and so much more!The Power in Parenting reminds parents that they are not alone in this journey, but that God is there to guide them and has already given them the wisdom and tools to be successful. Many parents go through their parenting not utilizing the grace that God has made available to them. For it is by the grace of God and through the help of the Holy Spirit that we are able to do all things. I hope that this book, The Power in Parenting would help erase self-doubt, confusion, or frustration, and allow the light and joy of the Lord to accompany you on this amazing journey of parenting.
