Unconverted sons and daughters, hope for hurting parents

While children are a gift from the Lord and enrich our lives inestimably, parenting is not for the fainthearted. The rigours of raising children often lead to "hands which hang down and...feeble knees". This is particularly true when the children we have devoted ourselves to do not know the Lord. Wise counsel abounds as to what we should do as parents but where is one to find encouragement when nothing seems to be working. From the Scriptures and from Christian history the author seeks to minister to such parents and to "strengthen their hand in God".

It has become a well-known adage that parenting is not for cowards. Even Christians, with the strength of their great God, find the task daunting. For the central thing in Christian parenting, handing on the Faith, cannot be accomplished by human ingenuity alone--without the Spirit of Christ it cannot be done. This work by Carl Muller, deeply rooted in both Scripture & his own parenting experience, explores the various facets of this important truth, imparting both courage & encouragement to the reader.
