Publisher Description
In Spiritual Parenting parents learn to create a home environment that God can use to work in their children's lives. It's a biblical, innovative fresh approach to parenting--and one that's long overdue. It's hard enough to train kids to behave, but good behavior isn't what Jesus calls for in the Bible. He wants hearts and souls that are shaped in vibrant faith and love toward God and others. How can parents cultivate this in their children? In this book Dr. Michelle Anthony shares practical examples and biblical insight on the spiritual role of parenting. Spiritual Parenting introduces the simple, but revolutionary concept that parents are, by the power of God's Spirit, to obey and depend on God in order to create an environment God can use to beckon their children to Him.

"Great book for a spiritual parent or one like me who wants to be a better spiritual parent. Michelle writes with ease and does not over complicate anything. Easy to read and has a lot of vital information some parents just do not think of until reading a book. Good advice overall."

“Parenting books can be preachy—readers often feel like the children of the erstwhile parent turned author. This one is different...This is not a ‘how to’ parenting manual, but a guide for developing as a spiritually minded parent...The book speaks to the journey that all parents must learn to accept: to hear God’s voice and change along with their children.”
