Synopsis

How to raise godly children in a godless world

Do you feel like you're fighting a losing battle? Against the culture, against the busyness, sometimes even against your spouse and kids... Often it seems like everything is against you as a parent, and your everyday life can feel far from joy-filled. But it doesn't need to be that way. Parents Rising will show you eight cultural trends that parents are up against today and what you can do to claim victory. 
This book is about growth not guilt. It's not a pep talk, or a "try harder" speech. This is real help for real problems that every parent faces. It's a way to focus your efforts so that they'll be more effective and you'll be less exhausted.  Parents, there's no time to wait.  It's time to rise.

From the Back Cover

PARENTS, Do you ever ask yourself, “Am I doing this right?”

Wouldn’t it be nice to ditch your parenting doubts and stop second-guessing your decisions? Imagine if your default parenting style was being a calm, confident leader rather than a distressed chaos-manager.

You can get there, but we all need a little help.

Whether you’re the parent of a toddler or a teenager, Parents Rising will teach you eight practical strategies to help you:

  • Establish proper roles: children follow and obey parents, not the other way around
  • Form strong, loving bonds while creating healthy boundaries
  • Exalt God in and through your family
  • Navigate wisely through a screen-driven world

Every day you get to help shape who your child will be once they’re on their own. But time is short.

Parents, it’s our time to rise.

Endorsement: "Arlene Pellicane does it again! She calls us all to rise up to the task of parenting God's way!”

-Dannah Gresh, bestselling author of Secret Keeper Girl
