We need a parenting revolution! Most parenting approaches end up encouraging children to ask the wrong questions about life: What’s in it for me? Are you going to pay me for that? What’s the minimum I need to do to get by? But God’s Word gives us a better way to parent, one that builds strong internal motivation in children. When parents change the way they parent, kids change the way they live. This practical book explores a theology of internal motivation and then gives parents real-life solutions to equip their kids for life. You’ll learn . . . • how to parent in ways that build internal motivation so that kids don’t have to rely on you to get things done. • the four promptings of the conscience and how to coordinate your parenting to take advantage of them. • ways to energize your spiritual training with fun and creativity. • how to help children respond to mistakes instead of blaming, defending, or justifying. The greatest gift you can give your child is strong moral and spiritual development—this book shows you how. Every chapter includes practical examples of families applying the Bible to their current issues. Join the revolution!

“The Priceless Father” delves into the critical role parents play in a child’s upbringing and examines the profound impact of parental absence on their development. This book emphasizes the necessity of a stable family environment as the foundation for success in both career and community life. In today’s society, a significant number of children are raised by single mothers, highlighting the alarming statistic that at least one in three children comes from a broken home. While there are success stories of children raised by single parents, these narratives often overlook the immense commitment, love, and hard work involved. The book addresses the misconception that having both parents guarantees a child’s success, noting that even when both parents are present, they may be emotionally or financially absent, leaving a void in the child’s life. “The Priceless Father” argues for the importance of effective communication and conflict resolution to maintain a nurturing home environment. It also explores the concept of finding spiritual fulfillment and guidance from God when earthly parents fall short. Through this perspective, the book offers insights into coping mechanisms and finding solace in the absence of ideal parental figures. Ultimately, this book serves as a guide for parents and couples, empowering them to navigate turbulent times with sensitivity toward their children’s needs. Through mutual respect, effective communication, and a commitment to resolving conflicts, families can strive toward harmony and stability, safeguarding the well-being of the next generation.
