At the heart of this book is a fundamental truth many Christian parenting books overlook--the life of God.

The Lifegiving Parent is about what we did to bring God's life into our home for our children to see and believe. That's what it means to be lifegiving parents--to introduce our children to the living God of Scripture and to give them the life that we have found in Him.

We offer no special or secret formula that will make you a successful Christian parent, and we would counsel you to avoid any parenting book that does. We offer only our personal experience and insights, and the promise that God's grace will be in abundant supply for anything you decide to do, by faith, to become a lifegiving parent for your children.
