Synopsis

Paul Coughlin gives parents good news: They can raise assertive and confident children. While showing parents how to avoid over-parenting and how to instill the virtues of toughness, wisdom, and courage, he paints a clearer picture of the real Jesus, not just the meek-and-mild side often presented to children. By shaping confident and virtuous children, parents are giving them the tools to live a happy and more abundant life--no matter how old they get.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Endorsements "Our children are moving rapidly moving from dependence to independence. Our job is to raise responsible adults who have courage and character. Paul Coughlin's wonderful book will equip you for this amazing journey of parenting. It's a life-changing book." --Jim Burns, Ph.D., President, HomeWord Author of Creating an Intimate Marriage and Confident Parenting "This is a powerful book that finally dispels the myth that defending oneself is 'unchristian.' As believers we are duty bound to teach our children that honor, justice, courage in the face of adversity, and defending the weak are not only the right things to own and do, they are a Christian's obligation. Bravo! Paul Coughlin, for giving back to us our warrior spirit." --Brad Stine, Comedian, author, actor
