Raising Kingdom Kids - by Tony Evans

Book Synopsis

From the bestselling author of Kingdom Man and Kingdom Woman, Raising Kingdom Kids equips parents to raise their children with a Kingdom perspective and also offers practical how-to advice on providing spiritual training as instructed in Scripture.

Dr. Tony Evans begins with an overarching look at the need for Kingdom parenting, our roles and responsibilities in raising God-following children, and how to prepare children to take on the assignments God has for their lives. He then takes a practical turn, with examples and illustrations to help parents understand and provide specific training for kids in the power of prayer, wisdom, loving God's Word, getting through trials, controlling their tongues, developing patience, the surrender of service, and much more.

This book is for every dad or mom who wants to fulfill the parenting role God has given them--not just in raising healthy kids intellectually, physically, and socially, but in contributing to their child's relationship with God and alignment under His plan.

From the Back Cover

Parenting is tough, and life today is busy. Creating a kingdom mind-set in your home may sound like more than you can handle. But by starting small and starting today, you can produce benefits that will last a lifetime!

Raising kids who recognize and retain their identity as children of the King launches healthy adults who have the capacity to stand strong in their faith. That's why, with wisdom and grace, respected ministry leader and experienced dad Dr. Tony Evans offers practical, step-by-step strategies to:

• Create an atmosphere where your kids can maintain their identity in Jesus Christ despite the culture around them
• Grow in confidence as you discover your worth as a parent, based on God's Word and not on your kids' actions
• Experience the freedom of influencing your children rather than the futility of trying to control them
• Gain new strength as you view the daily duties of parenting from a kingdom perspective
• Trade reactive parenting for intentional parenting and marvel at the difference

"Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God." MARK 10:14 (ESV)

Kingdom parenting is purposeful parenting--helping children learn to live under God's divine authority, both today and in the future.

No parent does it perfectly, and most of us have regrets about the past and poor decisions we've made along the way. But wherever you are in your journey, it's never too late to start anew, applying biblical principles to parenting and trusting God to bring about the growth.

In this inspiring and practical book, Dr. Tony Evans comes alongside moms and dads with understanding and affection, offering his own hard lessons learned, and easy-to-apply strategies for raising your children in the knowledge that they truly are royalty, children of the King.

No matter what challenges your kids will one day face, raise them so that their hearts will remain open toward home--and the values and principles they learned there.
