 How
Children Raise Their Parents
By: Dan Allender
ISBN:
978-1400070527
To reduce the
pressure and enjoy greater closeness in your family, turn
your parenting upside-down by allowing God to use
your children to help you grow up. Imagine what would
happen if you began to prize what you’re being taught by
your children’s quirks, failures, and normal childhood
dilemmas, rather than worrying about whether you’re doing
everything right as a parent. Now you can let go of the
pressure to make sure your children succeed, and instead
learn to grow into spiritual maturity by listening to your
children.
 Devotions
For Sacred Parenting
By: Gary Thomas
ISBN:
978-0310255963
Many books have
been written about how to parent a child effectively, how to
become a better parent, or how effective parenting produces
better children. But when Gary Thomas's book on parenting
was published, it looked at the subject from a completely
unique perspective, namely how parenting affects the parent.
In Sacred Parenting Thomas explored the spiritual
dynamics of parenting and why caring for children is such an
effective discipline in shaping souls and forming the
character of Christ within the parents.
 Grace-Based
Parenting
By: Tim Kimmel
ISBN:
978-0849905483
Are you seeking direction in getting the parenting thing
right? In Grace-Based Parenting, you'll find a
refreshing new look at parenting based on the example of the
ultimate child and family expert - God. Rejecting rigid
rules and checklists that don't work, Dr. Kimmel recommends
a parenting style that mirrors God's love, reflects His
forgiveness, and displaces fear as a motivator for behavior.
As you embrace the grace God offers, you begin to give it,
nurturing your family and creating a solid foundation for
growing morally strong and spiritually motivated children.

From the argument over the last donut, to the cry of
"nothing to wear" a half-hour before school, Paul Tripp

teenagers during the often chaotic adolescent years. He

deepen communication, learn and grow with their teenagers.
Parenting
Without Perfection
By: David Seel
ISBN:

Parenting
Without Perfection is ideal for the reader who is
frustrated with quick-fix parenting advice and is looking
for ideas that are honest, realistic, and biblically sound.
It gives moms and dads a framework for parenting that is
biblical and down-to-earth without requiring perfection. He
includes a complete look at the influences of a toxic youth
culture as well as biblical principles. Through a list of
ten priorities, Seel presents a realistic definition and
context for Christian parenting. Parenting Without
Perfection offers a unique perspective on parents' roles
in their children's lives, putting the priority on
influencing children's beliefs rather than controlling their
behavior.

for the Gilman high school football team, teaches his

Too Much Of A
Good Thing
By: Dan Kindlon
ISBN:
0786886242
Parents give
their children too much and expect too little. Material
indulgence -- everything from excessive toys to cell phones,
cars, and credit cards -- is just the beginning. With good
intentions parents too often emotionally indulge their
children as well. There is too much negotiation,
overprotection, an overall sense of entitlement, and too few
of the character building experiences that lead to happiness
and psychological health. Too Much of a Good Thing
outlines the consequences of a generation of children
surrounded by a sea of choices, and a lack of limits and
barriers.
 Come
Back Barbara
By: C. John
Miller
ISBN:
978-0875523842
Many families are struggling
with rebellious children. Mothers and fathers agonize over
loved but erring children. This trial can often be lonely
and isolating for the Christian parent. The experience of a
prodigal daughter and her father is retold in the book
Come Back Barbara. Each chapter in the book
relates certain events in the life of Barbara, first from
the father’s perspective and then from Barbara’s. Throughout
the book the father expresses how the Lord was changing his
own life, teaching him the nature of repentance and faith,
and dependence on Christ as he sought to communicate the
love of Christ to his daughter. The refreshing honesty of
this family’s story will help doubting, hurting parents to
renew their hope in the power of God to unlock the heaviest
door and open the rebellious heart to the love of Christ.
