Author: Clay & Sally Clarkson

Lifegiving parenting is countercultural, and imparting God's life to our children is of critical importance. The world changes around us, competing for the minds and hearts of our children. God gives us everything we need to stand against the onslaught and to thrive and grow in Christ Jesus. The Lifegiving Parent encourages us to number our children's days, to nurture their spirits, and to guard their hearts. It gives us principles to renew their minds, strengthen their faith, and shape their will. Character and imagination also play an essential role. "Lifegiving parenting will help you and your children to find yourselves in God's epic story—and to live the story He is writing through and for you." (p. xiv) |
