Sacred Parenting

How Raising Children Shapes Our Souls

By: Gary Thomas

Narrated by: Gary Thomas

Audiobook narrated by Gary Thomas.

Parenting is a school for spiritual formation. . .and our children are our teachers.

The journey of caring for, rearing, training, and loving our children profoundly alters us forever. Even when the journey is a rough one, God uses the experience to train, shape, and love us.

Sacred Parenting is unlike any other parenting book on the market. This is not a "how-to" book that teaches readers the ways to discipline their kids or help them achieve their full potential. Instead of a discussion about how parents change their children, Sacred Parenting demonstrates how God uses children to change their parents.

Stepping beyond the overly-tilled soil of method books, parents can learn a whole new side of parenting. You'll be encouraged by stories that tell how other parents handled the challenges and difficulties of being a parent – and how their children transformed their relationship with God.

The lessons that Gary Thomas--bestselling author of Sacred Marriage--offers are timeless. But in this edition, Thomas adds in some additional insights and stories that he's learned and lived over the past fifteen years of his own parenting. He has found that the lessons have remained much the same, but there are new applications for the readers in this generation who are just now coming to his book.

We are Raising God's Children and He loves them

I loved this book. The why behind parenting and the need for selflessness touched me

Great read

Gary Thomas never fails to write something that really hits home. Be warned to cry at the end.

its SO good

If you are getting lost in the monotony of raising kids you NEED this book. Hear Gods purpose and plan and embrace this holy perspective.

Very helpful book! great to hear author read it!

I've read Sacred Search and Sacred Marriage by the same author and I appreciate his perspective on parenting as well. I think he lays out a very biblical and helpful perspective on parenting that is realistic and wise.

good parenting book

Has good values and principles. I recommend it to all parents, who just began this journey or going for quite a bit )))) This book makes us think about some good points. And challenges to be a better, God - centered parent.
