Publisher's summary

Most Christian parents are bombarded with all kinds of advice and plans and programs for how to be a great parent. In parenting eight kids over the last 25 years, Julie Lyles Carr and her husband experienced plenty of opportunity for learning, but it was when they began to understand it was about parenting each child according to their own unique needs and personality style that something wonderful happened.

In Raising an Original, Carr helps to redefine the primary purpose of Christian parenting, this raising of the next generation. God has given each of our children specific gifts, abilities, and capacities for specific purposes, and he can equip parents to discover and support those powerful personality traits if they know where to look and how to respond. So many kids raised in Christian homes launch into their adult lives without any sense of knowing who they are called to be or what their mission on earth is. What if parents, teachers, or mentors could help them discover the wondrous, unique threads woven within them that will enable them to see their part in the fabric of God's universe?

Listeners of Raising an Original will be equipped to help their children:

  • Understand their unique strengths and the challenges associated with them
  • Discover their God-given gifts and how to use them for his glory
  • Succeed regardless of their circumstances

Raising an Original will provide listeners with tools for better communication with their children as well as tools for uniquely guiding and disciplining each unique child. With a helpful and detailed Personality Trait Assessment Tool included as a major part of the book, listeners will understand themselves, their parenting style, and their child better. They will also discover ways to improve their children's communication within sibling groups and with parents themselves.

Listeners will find freedom in discovering that God hasn't asked them to raise perfect children; he's asked them to uniquely raise purposed children.
