Parenting by Faith: What Jesus Said to Parents (Aspire Press)

Imagine if Jesus lived in your neighborhood and you could bring your kids—or your worries about your kids—directly to him. Parenting by Faith: What Jesus Said to Parents invites you into the world of first-century mothers and fathers who did just that. Their ancient interactions with Jesus are instructive for modern parents.

Discover the kind of faith that flourishes in the ups and downs of parenting. It's a faith that drives away fear and insecurity. Sometimes it's fragile. But it's always full of hope because it's rooted in Jesus. Parenting by faith doesn't mean you have all the answers. It means you know whom to go to with your questions. Weaving together personal stories with Scripture, this guide highlights 7 promises given to parents by Jesus himself.

Each chapter includes:

• Summary of main points
• Discussion questions & reflections for group or individual study
• Suggestions for Scripture reading
• Practical applications, action points/exercises
• Relevant prayer
