Sometimes the demands of life strip away any sense of purpose from our parenting. On days like these, we wonder if there is more to raising kids than removing peanut butter from our preschooler's hair, sparing the cat from an untimely demise, and talking our teen down from a hormonal high. Proverbs 22:6 says we are to: Raise up a child the way he should go... Rather than raising our children by accident (from crisis to crisis) the Bible indicates we are to raise our children on purpose -according to their God-given purpose.
Your child has a calling from God - a special way that he or
she is to go! Raising Children on Purpose offers you the ability
to discover God's plan for your child's life. This book will help
you:
* Assess your child's natural talent and gifting
* Recognize your child's spiritual passion
* Determine the point at which gifting and interest overlap
* Discover your child's God-given calling
Besides helping your kids to know their way, Christian educator Wes Fleming provides practical ideas for you to cultivate a passion in your children to go their way. He will show you how to prepare their hearts to trust in God and to want God's will for their lives. Learn how to reinforce your children's natural capacity to trust (the emotional foundation of faith), model an accurate image of God the Father, and introduce your children to the person of Jesus Christ.
Raising Children On Purpose will help you raise kids who know
the way they are to go. Children who are:
* Highly motivated - their avocation is their vocation
* Peak performers - they are made for the job
* Goal oriented - they know the way they are to go
* Responsible - they take charge of their future
* Passionate about Jesus - they know the Way-Maker personally
Discover the "Davids," "Esthers," and "Jeremiahs" in your home
and raise them to go their "way"! --This text refers to an out
