Many people today believe that when having a child, the wisdom to raise that child is automatic. Very few seek out information on child-rearing until there is a problem. Knowing how to navigate through parenthood requires patience, knowledge, and wisdom. Fortunately, there is no shortage of great Bible-based information to raise your children & young adults, but to make it work, the principles must be applied. Even the best intentions by the greatest parenting pros can suffer setbacks, be encouraged to stay the course, find a scripture for your issue, repeat the scripture but not the problem. Be considerate and loving, yet firm as you resolve to bring up your child in the way they should go.
Dubbed the modern-day Royal Readers, Courage to Overcome- Stories to Help Kids Grow Through Childhood Challenges, is a book that shares thought-provoking stories that address issues many children experience such as bullying, gang violence, teen pregnancy, incest, and more. Each illustrated story is followed by questions for discussion in the classroom, home, or youth group. Courage to Overcome shows children that they need not give in or give up for fear of failure, but with practical guidance and wisdom, they can avoid or overcome the obstacles in their way.
These are simple but effective truths that every child can take with them throughout the course of their lives. If raising your child right in this confusing era is important to you, start with getting them this simple life instruction manual. Pastor Conrad L. Jones
