Becoming a Spiritually Healthy Family: Avoiding the 6 Dysfunctional Parenting Styles
Ebooks are designed for reading and have few connections to your library.
Feeling stuck as a Christian parent? Becoming a
Spiritually Healthy Family helps you get out of the common
pitfalls of Christian parenting and gives you practical ideas for
creating spiritual health in your home while allowing your children
to live the abundant life that Jesus promises.
We all want to guide our children into the abundant life that Jesus offers. But when we pursue the more and better that the world offers above our pursuit of Jesus, we fall into dangerous parenting habits. In Becoming a Spiritually Healthy Family, Michelle Anthony unpacks six common dysfunctional parenting styles that we fall into out of habit, lack of attention, or just oversight due to busyness. If you long to show your children Jesus but don't know how to do it, you'll find hope in this practical guide to creating a relentlessly grace-filled home that is focused on God as first in charge.
**Includes Scripture guides, reflection questions, ideas for family rites of passage, and other real-life family examples.
