A Book Recommendation
We're reading "Instructing a Child's Heart" by Tedd and Margy Tripp, even though our daughter is only a newborn. We see that it's so important to be prepared to shape our child's heart and mind, along with the power of the Holy Spirit, to instruct and parent our child before she's at that age. We already see her learning and establishing habits, good and bad, so why not stay ahead of the "game". The verse in James, "You do not have, because you do not ask" challenges us to pray and ask God for a child who is obedient, who loves learning from the Word, and who will be redeemed at an early age, Lord willing. Once again, we are reminded that, "Scripture is our history. Creation, Fall, and Redemption are the context for understanding life."

Tim,
ReplyDeleteI read that same book when I had my first daughter. And just recently read a book called, "Grace-Based Parenting." So far, it is THE best book that I have read on parenting and it really made me reflect on my idea of being a parent. Put it on your list of books to read! :)
