English

I’m a parent… Wow! How should I best navigate through the wonderful, new challenges and opportunities that are coming my way? What wisdom may be gleaned from the Bible, God’s living Word? Will God really enable the process to turn out well? In six helpful, easy-to-read chapters, John Lehman, a family pastor and himself a parent and grandparent of several children, writes with passion and clarity on the great issues of bringing up children.

Rich in biblical content, this book will help steer you carefully through the many situations that come the way of all parents.

English

An ACBC counselor, John Lehman was born in Indiana, but spent fifteen of his first eighteen years of life in Taiwan. As an MK (missionary kid), part of his upbringing was spent in dormitory settings away from his parents. Though minimal time was spent with them during his upbringing, he was reminded about the importance of godly parenting. Early in his life he felt called of God to help people, so that's what he's been doing throughout his ministry years. He trusts this book will be that help to prospective and present parents. His children asked him to write a book for their use, and this is the result of that request.
