The goal of parenting and one's hope -- Salvation and sanctification of the child -- The infant -- The toddler -- The preschooler -- The school-age child -- The teenager -- Parents who provoke -- Special cases -- When things don't go as planned -- Conclusion -- Appendix A: presenting the Gospel in its contex : faithfully sowing the seed according to the Scriptures -- Appendix B: 'put off'/'put on' dynamic -- Appendix C: the making of a man of God -- Appendix D: taking thoughts captive.
Parents and children need help, a lot of help. They need help from the One who is perfect, who understands our need, and who can really help us, God himself. And because of that, the most important relationship in your family is not with your child, it is not with your spouse, it is your relationship with Him. That's the relationship The Faithful Parent emphasizes. Martha Peace, best-selling author of 'The Excellent Wife', and Stuart Scott, author of its counterpart, 'The Exemplary Husband', join forces to challenge you to become a faithful parent, one who perseveres and leaves the results to God.-- Publisher.
