Publisher's summary

Following the wildly popular Vertical Marriage with the same charming, relatable dialogue between mom and dad, best-selling authors and national hosts of FamilyLife Today Dave and Ann Wilson dive headlong into the monumental task of parenting in the 21st century.

Raising kids with hearts for Christ may be the hardest thing you ever try to do, but it's also the most important thing. Packed with funny and honest stories, biblical insight, and practical steps you can put into practice today, this hands-on parenting manual will encourage and equip every parent through any stage.

Founders of a multi-campus church and family coaches with 30 years of experience, Dave and Ann share the hard-earned but easy-to-apply principles that ensure a strong parent-to-child relationship and a strong foundation for your child. You'll get a front-row seat to the multidimensional nature of parenting through a conversational back and forth between Mom and Dad and even comments from their adult sons on what worked, what didn't work, and why. An inspiring and resourceful guide, No Perfect Parents will cover essential topics like learning to discipline without losing your mind or causing more chaos, the parenting guilt trip, the teen years, and the top five parenting mistakes.

For parents and couples preparing to have children, Dave and Ann offer hope and strategies that really work, and some that didn't. No Perfect Parents will let you into the real, even raw, struggles and joys of raising kids that can impact their generation in a powerful way.

To get the legacy that you've been praying for, start here. Your kids will thank you later.

Wonderful, honest and helpful

I listen to Dave and Ann Wilson so much on Family Life Today I feel like I know them! They are both always so honest and transparent about their struggles and their victories, both in marriage and in parenting which is extremely helpful for my whole family! I love that they narrate this book together, it really brings the stories of their experiences to life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a parent, is a new parent, is a veteran parent of teenagers or anywhere in between! It has the power to transform your parenting and will definitely be well worth your time😊

Good story, good principles, well-read

I enjoyed listening to this book. It’s a lot of stories of them raising their kids with a few really good principles mixed in.
My favorite part? The authors are the ones reading their stories to you.
What I didn’t like? Occasionally the stories provided too much detail in weird parts. Also - I was hoping for more practical tips & principles and less story.
Overall - it was a good book and I’d recommend it.

Wisdom for parents of all ages

No Perfect Parents is filled with some of the joys and sorrows of parenting and so much wisdom. Dave and Ann are humble and brave as they share many of their personal parenting failures. You can feel their heart as they read this audio book. I felt like I was sitting in their living room with them. Wonderful Book.

This book was just what I needed in this stage of my life with my children approaching the teen years… I wish I would’ve listen to it when they were five!

Great audio

Great information as we are human and are not perfect. If you have not listened to Vertical Marriage I highly recommend to do so. I recommend it to my husband. I’ll be sharing this one next with him. Thank you
