Father and daughter duo Dr. Richard and Carrie Blackaby offer informative, engaging, and thought-provoking content from both sides of the parenting equation. The pages are filled with humor, inspiration, and encouragement. God takes great delight in creating unique individuals, so why do we teach our children to conform and be complacent?
"I enjoyed this book so much I decided to put my name on the manuscript and publish it first! Seriously, this book reminded me of the way Ramona and I raised our kids--not with perfection--but with purpose. Success was measured by faith, character and a rollicking good time. We have seen it pay off. I know you will too."
"Richard is a gifted storyteller. I always enjoy hearing him use real-life stories to explain and apply profound truths. Now it is clear that his daughter Carrie is a highly entertaining and insightful storyteller as well. You will thoroughly enjoy this book. It is filled with humor, insight, and godly wisdom. I highly recommend it to parents. It will leave you thinking, laughing, and changing and will result in a blessing for your children."
"There are no cookie-cutter formulas in this book... thankfully! What I found instead was an approach to parenting that took each individual child into consideration. I laughed and I cried as I vicariously shared their experiences, but I ended this book encouraged that there is a voice for parenting that is wise, full of grace, and just plain fun."
