Trusting Enough to Parent

Replacing Fear with Active Trust as You Raise Your Children

By: Wayne Hastings

Parents need help. We've always known that parenting was a serious, daunting task, but in our day it has become a matter of life and death. Hardly a day goes by without a new, startling piece of journalism reminding us of childhood dysfunction and parental failure. Being a parent today is not what it used to be. Like it or not, the days of Ward, June and The Beav are quaint nostalgia, having given way to far more complex and dangerous times. In this age of safe sex, schoolyard violence, subjective truth and a media bent on contradicting our best parenting efforts, we need God more than ever to assist with the challenge of rearing healthy, self-conscious kids. Do we trust Him enough to shepherd us in our efforts? Trusting Enough to Parent provides spiritual direction and practical advice to moms and dads laboring at the most important job in the world. Armed with biblical truths and a wealth of parenting wisdom gleaned from personal experience, author Wayne Hastings sets forth some invaluable lessons on the art of co-parenting with God--along with significant doses of hope and encouragement to help you through the tough times.
