Description
Parenting is hard. If you are considering this book, it is likely because you, too, think it is hard and are looking for some help. In this book, Olan Stubbs lets you know that you are not alone, and God has not left you to parent on your own. Drawing deep from God’s Word and tempered by years of experience, Stubbs shares godly counsel for weak and weary parents. This is not just a how-to manual for raising children. Rather, it is realistic counsel that recognizes the pains of parenthood. Yet it also presents us with the hope we need to patiently partner with God in parenting our children.

“Dr. Stubbs has given us a unique perspective on the project of parenting. This work is theological—God-centered, biblical—draws upon the breath of Scripture, and practical—how to get it done. It could also be thought of as the parent’s guide to discipling children. There are many good resources available to parents today, but while all will cite Scripture as their baseline, this book traces parenting throughout the Bible. Get it for yourself and get a copy for those who are raising your grandchildren.”
—Howard Eyrich, fellow and member of the academy, Association of Certified Biblical Counselors; director of the DMin program, Birmingham Theological Seminary
“Olan Stubbs has simplified what it means to collaborate with God in the parenting journey. It really is a partnership. We parents don’t have to do it alone. Through Scripture we are not only provided the wisdom we need but the strength and grace to pull it off that only He can furnish. Parenting has never been more complicated. This book is a resource to lead your children from birth to age twenty-two. I encourage you to take advantage of it.”
—Tim Elmore, best-selling author as well as founder and CEO of Growing Leaders
