Richard Blackaby. Rebellious Parenting

Отрывок из книги

“It was with a fair measure of skepticism that I began reading this book, muttering to myself, ‘Oh no, not another book on raising perfect kids!’ But I was greatly surprised and gratified to see that this book was anything but. The Blackabys have shared their experiences from a two-generational perspective and I found their advice thoughtful, biblical and challenging. There are no cookie-cutter formulas in this book…thankfully! What I found instead was an approach to parenting that took each individual child into consideration and focused on character formation rather than compliance. I laughed and I cried as I vicariously shared their experiences, but I ended this book encouraged that there is a voice for parenting that is wise, full of grace, and just plain fun. Enjoy the book!”
