| “From the Heart of a Parent” is one of the
most outstanding books on parenting I’ve ever read. The concise,
practical points make it easy to read and, more importantly, to
apply to life. It is not only a great “first aid” resource in times
of crisis, but a tremendous help in every stage of parenting.
~Russ King...Father of three...Minister |
Yes, you really can be a great role model,
spiritual leader, confidant, friend, or whatever else you want and need to
be for your adolescent.
Our children are sources of joy and pain. On
the one hand they make us laugh till it hurts and thrilled to be their
folks. On the other hand they make us worry about their safety and weep at
their rebellious attitudes.
Parenting does more than raise children...it
raises doubts. Doubts about the ability to be a good mom or dad. Doubts
about decisions that we feel are for the best. Doubts about direction when
we say, "Where did we go wrong?"
You lie awake at night when curfew comes and
goes without a phone call. You want to know the background of the boy
picking up your baby girl for a date. Your heart aches when your son gets
cut from the team. You wonder what's written in the love note, or pressed
between the mattresses.
More than that...
You're concerned most about your child's soul.
More than the honor roll, don't you want your child's name on God's roll?
Of course you do.
That's why I've put this book together. I've
been where you are. I've asked all the questions and had all the doubts.
My children are out of the house and married. As I reflect on their
adolescent years I feel the pride and pain. My heart's desire is to help
you avoid some of the pitfalls, while making it through the unavoidable
ones with your family's faith intact.
A Book Based On Real Lives...Not
Theory.
"From the Heart of a Parent" will encourage
and show you how to be the parent God desires while raising a child who
reflects Him. Why is this 285 page book different from the other volumes
weighing down the bookshelves of your local bookstore?
First, 60 Christian families share their real
life triumphs and defeats. Names
have NOT been changed. The details are real. For Example.
J. & C.
Johnson (you'll' read their full names in the book) sat shocked as their
son faced rape charges. They sobbed as he was led away in chains from his
sentence hearing. You will discover how they kept their faith in this time
of crisis.
K. Segrest
shares what teens REALLY want from their parents. Her tender words will
capture your heart as she praises them.
Second, not only will you connect with real
life families, you will also discover 10 relevant ways to bring each
chapter to life in your home.
10 Practical Tips Per Chapter X 60 Chapters =
600 Practical Tips for You to Apply.
“From the Heart of

Here’s What A Few More Families Had to
Say About
From The Heart Of A Parent:
| “As parents of teens, almost all of
us feel ‘in over our heads’ at times...it’s just harder than we
imagined, and good intentions sometimes aren’t good enough, it
seems. But there are some things you CAN do that really will make a
difference. Let the Lord bless both you and your children by opening
your heart to the ideas of this book.”
~Jimmy Dobbs...Dad….Director of Agape.
I wish “From the Heart of a Parent” had
been available when my children were at home. I now have six
grandchildren so I will make sure that my children have a copy of
this very practical parenting book.
~Elaine Kennedy Grandmother
We have struck gold with “From the Heart of a
Parent”. We have a three year old and another to arrive soon! Al
and Paul have laid out simple yet insightful foundations for us to
build upon for our family. As a veteran youth minister I simply
cannot wait to recommend this book to every parent with whom I come
in contact.
