The Perfect Parent: Guiding Principles from the Father-Heart of God

There’s no such thing as the perfect parent... Or is there?

Raising children is hard, and it’s only getting harder. And while there have never been more resources available, many parenting books offer wildly differing theories on how to be a good parent. In today’s volatile world, many fathers and mothers may find themselves wondering, “Where’s the instruction manual?”

As it turns out, the answer may be closer than you think.

In The Perfect Parent, pastor and theologian Dr. Doug Ley outlines Five Biblical Principles for effective parenting, taken directly from God’s Word. These guidelines have been handed down directly from the One and Only Perfect Parent, God, our Heavenly Father, and include time-tested strategies such as creating a good environment, giving your children responsibility, and setting boundaries—all of which are demonstrated in God’s Word. With the help of real-life examples, candid anecdotes and reflections from the Leys' four adult children, one will see parenting being fleshed out in real life. It’s time to stop parenting the world’s way and start following The Perfect Parent.
