Publisher's summary

You can raise good kids!

Loving Our Kids on Purpose combines the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival to form a powerful strategy for parents.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. (2 Corinthians 3:17). Rather than the traditional approaches that train children to learn to accept being controlled by well-meaning parents and adults, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships.

Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.(1 John 4:18 NKJV).

Loving Our Kids on Purpose introduces paradigms, perceptions, skills, and ideas that will help parents reduce fear by eliminating the tool of punishment, and strengthening the core character of their children by empowering their self-control and value for their relationship with their parents.

Wow! I want to love my kids just like God!

This book teaches us that disciplining our children can be done in a loving way that will encourage obedience rather than rebellion. There is so much to this book that I'll need to listen to it over and over again just to make sure it all sinks in!

From discouraged to excited

I was getting discouraged with my parenting. I'm a high school teacher and a father of two young boys.

I was letting my anger control my parenting and my classroom through threats and passive aggressive behavior. This book gave me hope and practical tools and phrases to use.

I already see a difference and look forward to opportunities to correct my children and students. Sounds cheesy, but it's true.

Life Changing

I would recommend this book to everyone raising children ... My prayer is for the Lord to ingrain into my brain these truths that I have missed all these years ... I have so messed up this parenting thing in so many ways ...with all of my good intentions!!! I have been parenting out of pure fear ... thinking that I could control behavior! Fear of failure ....I have failed miserably ...
Lord change ME, open my eyes to your Perfect Love - help me to know your love in my heart so that I can LOVE my kids on purpose!!!
Thank you for sharing these pearls of wisdom & truths!

Most worthwhile audiobook I’ve heard yet

This will change your life! The reader speaks at a tempo that allows you to really absorb what’s being said, without it being laggy. And the inflections of various voices helps in really “seeing” the scenarios described. Listened to this book while I drove to and from work. Will definitely listen through again and again! This stuff takes time to become habit, and eventually character. Thank you to the team that put this together!

Changed the way I parent!

I had to slow down and read this in small sections because it was so counterintuitive to how I was raised. Every time I would pick up this book it would further smooth off those rough edges. Putting these practices in place has uncrowded my heart from a controlling Mom to a connection based Mama who can be open and honest with her family. I see now the struggles my own parents had raising me and how so many issues that grew and that needed to heal could’ve been prevented by facilitating a healthy relationship. This book is full of healing wisdom and the very heartbeat of heaven for everyone you meet.
