Synopsis

Transform your life and your family with a one-year devotional to help you fulfill one of the most important callings in your life—being a parent.Raising children is a sacred calling—and not for the faint of heart. It shapes the parent every bit as much as parents shape their children. In Devotions for Sacred Parenting, Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Parenting, delves deeper into the conversation and contemplates the soul-transforming journey of being a parent.Many books have been written about how to parent your children effectively, how to become a better parent, and how effective parenting produces better kids. Devotions for Sacred Parenting explores an entirely different reality: how parenting transforms you, the parent. It explores the spiritual dynamics of parenting and why caring for your children is such an effective discipline in shaping your soul and forming the character of Christ within you.With all new material, 52 devotions explore the spiritual dynamics of parenting. These life-related devotions are creative, fresh, and encouraging, inspiring mothers and fathers to look at parenting from a different perspective—as a holy and high calling from God, and as an opportunity to grow spiritually as you strive to raise godly children. Devotions for Sacred Parenting is the perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, baby showers, birthdays, or any special occasion.Devotions for Sacred Parenting helps you understand how God is parenting you as you parent your children.

Genuinely surprised by this devotional. It’s been on our shelf for years, and it’s cheesy cover and purple pages kept me away, but there are some beautiful reflections on parenting and marriage here.
