Heart Parenting — a 10-part series based on The Christian Parenting Handbook

Welcome to Heart Parenting — a 10-part series inspired by The Christian Parenting Handbook! A few months ago I was blessed to serve on the launch team for this biblical parenting guide book and it has changed my life as a mom! You can read my review of the book here.

 

 

The Christian Parenting Handbook consists of 50 short chapters, each presenting a different parenting strategy. For 10 days, I have shared some personal reflections on those strategies that have had the most effect on my parenting. Parenting is hard. And it’s often said that it doesn’t come with a manual. Well, I disagree.
