David Erickson: The Flourishing Family, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When it comes to Christian parenting, we crave confidence, wisdom, and―most of all―peace.

We pray for peace when our little ones are tossed about by waves of emotions, for connection and confidence when navigating stressful mornings and exhausting nights, and for wisdom in knowing how best to discipline our kids. As Christian parents, we're desperate to "get it right," to raise our children to be strong, courageous followers of Jesus―and yet, despite the overload of endless advice at our fingertips, we often feel completely and utterly lost.

You can become the parent Christ has called you to be―and change your home and family from the inside out. In The Flourishing Family, Dr. David and Amanda Erickson offer a new parenting perspective―one that cultivates peace, gentleness, and confidence. Deeply rooted in Scripture and backed by modern neuroscience as well as insight into child development, their book will equip you to

rethink common assumptions about what the Bible says about parenting―and align your parenting approach with the teachings of Jesus and your identity in Him,
cultivate the inner peace needed to lead and guide your family with Christ, and His grace, at the center,
critically assess various gentle parenting principles through a Gospel lens so that you can respond to your child with understanding and patience, honoring the divine image and unique personality God created them to have, and
use compassionate discipline as discipleship to focus on the heart behind your child's actions, addressing the developmental or neurological roots of their behavior rather than merely correcting or punishing their actions or choices.

Your legacy is not defined by your parenting perfection but by your commitment to follow in the way of Jesus and to trust His Spirit to cultivate the seeds you're diligently planting throughout your children's lives. Trust that He will meet you in these pages―and that He will transform your hearts and home.
