Spiritual Parenting: An Awakening for Today's Families

Top Highlights

“In this book we will explore what it means to seek God as our primary audience—to please Him alone with our parenting and seek Him alone for the strength and power to do so. Spiritual parenting is not perfect parenting—it’s parenting from a spiritual perspective with eternity in mind. It’s a way of parenting that declares, ‘I want to parent the child or children that God gave me in such a way that I first honor God, and then second, create the best environment to put my children in the path of the Divine.’” (source)

“Not only do I need to learn how to rely on God (since His Word makes it clear that He alone is the one who changes hearts), but I also need to learn how my children are fearfully and wonderfully made in order to best guide them on the path that God has designed specifically for each one. It’s not about adopting a ‘parenting style’ that works for all my children, because I will need to adapt my parenting to the uniqueness of each child (while still retaining my authority and values).” (source)

“Perhaps the fullest definition of faith comes from its meaning in the original Greek. The word pistos embodies three things: possessing a firm conviction, making a personal surrender, and demonstrating the corresponding conduct.” (source)

“Furthermore, our purpose as parents is to teach our children about the awe-inspiring wonder of who God is, how to have a relationship with Him, and what it looks like to live our lives for Him and through Him.” (source)

“What you believe and where you aim your heart determines the direction and outcome of your entire life for eternity” (source)
