I want to do it all--find God's purpose for my life, impact my community, support my spouse, and provide my children every opportunity available to them. My generation is serious about parenting--just look at all we expect from our children and ourselves This book offers solutions to our unique questions and confirms that we "can" 'parent right'--even if it looks nothing like the way our own parents did it. More importantly, this book focuses on seeking God's Word and wisdom for answers to growing a new generation of God seekers." -- Tricia GoyerDetailed info »« Brief info
