Parenting from Your Strengths: Understanding Strengths and Valuing Differences in Your Home

Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

When it comes to parenting, it’s better to be abnormal. It’s true—because the majority of parents today have no plan for how they will raise their children. Sure, they may take childbirth classes and confer at length on paint colors for the nursery, but how much focused time do couples spend actually talking to each other about the best way to raise a child socially, spiritually, and otherwise?

According to popular research, not much at all.

Parenting from Your Strengths counters that trend by getting parents on the same page, no matter where they’ve been or how old their children are now. The authors present an easy four-step plan, coupled with an amazingly accurate personality test that will begin to transform your God-given household in a way that encourages every family member. When we understand each person’s strengths and learn to value his or her differences, home life and life in general are greatly improved.

Children are a constant reminder of God’s goodness. In that light, Christian parents are called to celebrate and nurture the unique personality traits and talents of each precious one with a gracious and eternal perspective.

Yet studies indicate seventy percent of teenagers from evangelical homes will drop out of church within two years after high school graduation. What the world has to offer will win their closer attention.

Parenting with Kingdom Purpose looks at Bible teaching and the recent National Study of Youth and Religion to shape a fresh approach to raising children that will cut through the chaos of modern life and bring families closer to each other and the Lord.

Ken Hemphill is national strategist for Empowering Kingdom Growth, a joint initiative of the Southern Baptist Convention and LifeWay Christian Resources.

Sample pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

All parents will tell you they learn as much from their children as their children learn from them. This truth is poignantly captured in Raising Dad by father-son authors Thom and Art Rainer.

It was Art’s idea to write, from a grown-up child’s perspective, this memoir of the successful parenting he has received firsthand. Inviting his father Thom to add a postscript to each reflection, another tender truth emerged: Dad’s memories of his own performance aren’t always as rose-colored, but the pride for his sons shines ever bright.

As pure and honest as a game of toss in the backyard, their back-and-forth delivery gives those who read the book great inspiration to never stop growing and learning as parents, whether their children are newborns, teenagers, or adults.

All told, Raising Dad shares unforgettable lessons about faith, love, friendship, honesty, commitment, priorities, and more—all the things that matter most in life between parents and children.

Thom S. Rainer is president and CEO of LifeWay Christian Resources, one of the largest Christian resource companies in the world.

Marriage is an adventure with lots of unknowns. Every couple will have plenty of questions about how to successfully weave two lives into one. And yet, when it comes to asking questions about the most personal, intimate human relationship we’ll ever have, we often become ineffectively reserved.

Why this hesitancy, even though we often desperately want answers? Revealing the nitty-gritty concerns and insecurities we have about our marriages takes a kind of vulnerability most of us fail to express. And so we continue to drift along—learning by trial and error and hoping for the best.

That’s where The Healthy Marriage Handbook comes in. Here are the answers to more than 200 confidential, personal questions that real people asked the editors of Marriage Partnership. It’s almost like having a trusted, wise couple come alongside—ready at a moment’s notice to help you safely clear the inevitable hurdles husbands and wives encounter on the road to marital happiness. The advice is time-tested, offered with compassion and understanding, and, most importantly, based on the counsel of God’s Word, the Bible. Indeed, it is only upon this rock that marriage can become what God intends.

Louise A. Ferrebee has served as Associate Editor of Marriage Partnership, a Christianity Today International publication that has served the needs of married couples for more than ten years. Among the contributors are David and Claudia Garland, R. Kent Hughes, Bill Hybels, Melissa and Louis McBurney, Les Parrott, Clifford and Joyce Penner, Lewis Smedes, Charles Swindoll, John Trent, H.

Maybe your marriage is finished—but God isn’t.

More importantly, he shows how God can and does continue to work in people’s lives, even in the aftermath of divorce.

In When the Vow Breaks, you’ll discover a wealth of professional insight, including:

  • How to seek reconciliation
  • Locating proper counseling
  • Considering separation
  • Finding a good attorney
  • Negotiating settlements and custody issues

With its extensive bibliography and other useful aids, such as sample financial settlement statements and legal correspondence, When the Vow Breaks is a must for anyone facing or recovering from the breakup of marriage.

Joseph Warren Kniskern is an attorney with more than thirty-two years of experience who has based his approach to legal issues solidly on Scripture throughout his career. He is affiliated with the Christian Legal Society and has been cited in Who’s Who in American Law.
