Parenting is an important task, but the pressure doesn't need to be on us.

When we give Christ unlimited control of our parenting, we learn that Jesus is a better parent to our children than we can ever hope to be. As Sheila Erwin shares personal stories of raising two successful filmmakers and delves into biblical principles, you will be encouraged to cultivate your children’s gifts and help them reach their dreams—no matter how impossible they seem. By parenting from a position of trust and rest in God, you can guide your children to chase their God-given dreams and channel their talents to glorify God instead of being gripped by the world.

Download or read book That s What You Think written by Joyce Bortnick and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thats What You Think chronicles Sara Elliss journey from independence to dependence. Although the story is based on her own mothers dilemmas in aging, beginning when her mother turned eighty-eight years-old, Joyce found the writing to be both joyous and cathartic to fictionalize. The writing helped me to believe that my mother really thought these things that make this book my heartfelt gift to her memory. For a long time, sadness blocked me from finishing our story, but my mothers dignity and the time I spent with her encouraged me to translate the traumas of aging into a story of love and respect. Thank you, Mom, for taking me with you in your final hours.
