This book equips parents with scriptural guidance and activities for teachable moments. It's inevitable that children from toddlers to teens will misbehave. It's tempting to discipline them and let the moment pass. Kara Durbin's passion is for parents to capture those teachable moments and use Scripture to shape their children's behavior. She offers Parenting With Scripture, a unique topical guide to prepare parents with scriptural teaching and helpful activities on 100 specific behaviors.

About this title

About the Author

KARA DURBIN has enjoyed continually serving in various roles of children's ministries. She has a degree in elementary education from Texas A&M University and homeschools her children part time. Kara's inspiration for the book was her mother, who blessed her life by parenting her with Scripture. When thinking about how to best parent her own children, Kara looked for a reference book that would have Scriptures to use for specific parenting moments. Not finding one, she began work on Parenting with Scripture. Kara and her husband and two children make their home in Murphy, Texas.

From the Back Cover

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

Psalm 119:105 (NIV)

You're a parent who wants to teach your children to turn early and often to God's Word. You want them to think through and apply God's instructions to daily life. You want them to go to the Bible first to find answers to life's biggest questions. But how can you instill those habits into them right now-as preschoolers, elementary students, or teens? Where can you find a resource to help you?

This handy A-to-Z topical guide will equip you to instill God's principles into the everyday lives of your family members.  Among the many themes author Kara Durbin covers, you'll find:

·         Apathy

·         Complaining

·         Discipline

·         Fairness

·         Giving

·         Humility

·         Listening

·         Responsibility

Newly updated to include a section on identifying "teachable moments" in your child's life, Parenting with Scripture aims to make you alert to opportunities to talk to your child about godly living.  Furthermore, the ideas for simple discussions, Scriptures for memorization, and activities that are adaptable to your children's ages and interests will make you wonder why you didn't have this book before!

Kara Durbin writes from her experience and background in elementary education and involvement in children's ministry. Kara, her husband, and children currently make their home in Richardson, TX.
