Unlike other parenting books, Gary Thomas wrote Sacred Parenting to help parents of all stages see how God uses children to change us—their parents. Through these timeless lessons, you’ll discover how raising children teaches us to: Find joy in the demands that children make on our lives. Listen with more care and intent. Understand with greater clarity how much God loves us. Build our own patience, perseverance, and empathy. The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children profoundly alters us forever. Even when the journey is a rough one, God uses the experience to train, shape, and love us. You'll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parent and how their children transformed their relationship with God. The lessons that Gary Thomas—bestselling author of Sacred Marriage—offers are timeless. In this edition, Thomas adds in some additional insights and stories that he's learned and lived over the past fifteen years of his own parenting journey.

On almost a daily basis, we have to choose between the two, as they inevitably come into conflict. Sacred parenting matures the parent by inviting us to choose service and character for our children over pain-free living. The Gold Behind the Guilt We’re fallible human beings. We get tired and grouchy. We don’t always think before we act. We’re far from perfect. And parenting puts the spotlight on our imperfections like nothing else. Walking on the Wild Side of Parenting Can we be honest? Parenting blows sentimentality out of the water faster than a fighter jet leaves the ground. Children are at times adorable, funny, lovable, and cute. But every one of them is also a sinner. The Life You Were Reborn to Live: Dismantling 12 Lies That Rob Your Intimacy ...
