"Steve Ganger focuses on key areas that make a difference in parenting if taken to heart, and each topic is doable. It's time to say a resounding Yes to relationships that impact a lifetime." - Sibyl Towner, director of spiritual mentoring, Willow Creek Community Church
Parents in charge of their children. A novel concept, isn't it? Sadly, in many homes today, it's the other way around. There is a revolution afoot in America - a revolution where children commandeer the home. So challenges, author, minister and counselor Steve Ganger.
But, he says, "take heart," and provides very readable chapters with guidelines for reclaiming the home as a loving place for heaven's sake. Ganger explores:
- what constitutes a real home
- the overcommitment in your schedule
- the hurried lifestyle we are passing along to our kids
- what God really intends childhood to be
- ideas for making your house a home that truly worships God.
Here is a book for parents who love their children dearly but have privately wondered if there is more to family life than the child. Priority Parenting explores how one of the greatest gifts parents can give to their children is a love of God and a healthy marriage.
"It is my hope that this book will challenge parents to love and cherish their children, but to also know when things become out of balance and the child becomes the center of the home; efforts need to be made to restore balance and return the home to the leadership of the parents." -- Douglas L. Friesen, psychologist, pastor and father, Lititz, Pennsylvania
