"Parenting is a Marathon and not a Sprint." Wise words from Israel Wayne. I had the blessing of meeting Israel Wayne last summer at a family homeschool camp retreat. A very down to earth person, he has a lot of wisdom and he is not afraid to speak the truth about things. Having been homeschooled himself and now a father of 8, he brings a lot of good advice to the table.
Full-Time Parenting, A Guide to Family-Based Discipleship, takes the thoughts you were already thinking about parenting but maybe, could not fully express and puts it into words with biblical scriptures to back up the concepts he addresses.
As I read this book, I found myself saying, "yes!" "yes!" and "yes!"
Full-time Parenting is a book for parents who not only want to nourish their children physically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. How do you deal with "Perfect Family Syndrome" or how can you keep your marriage strong? How do you teach purity or deal with our children being bombarded with technology? Do you have your children work with their hands and eat properly? Do they have structure in their life? Reading time together? Family worship time?
Negative Peer Pressure? No problem! How about no peers to worry about?!
This is not another psychology self-help book but will help you think from a Biblical point of view. Yes, some of his views are not the norms of society, but after studying various families' lifestyles and their outcomes, I believe this book may make you think outside the box. He also gives some ideas on why he thinks some children jump ship and what you can do it about it.
A great resource to keep on your shelf and read time and time again.
