As a parent, it isn't enough just to have strong values.
Children need a way to adopt the values you hold dear, but you didn't receive a parenting manual to tell you how! Your own father may not have equipped you--perhaps he was absent or distracted. Even if you had a great father, you may still struggle as a dad.
You can still be the father God created you to be!
Tom Lane provides practical tools, biblical foundation, and inspiration for imparting godly character to the generations entrusted to you. You will learn how to:
- transfer your values to your children
- respond to children in crisis
- relate to your adult children
God's promises are real. His blessings are eternal. It is never too late to start.
