As a Christian mother of toddler triplets, I have read lots of books on parenting...but never one that has effected my persective as positively as this one. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to positively impact the attitude of their heart for parenting. This is not a How To...it is much richer!

I read this while pregnant w/our first baby and it was not only great reading at the time, but the lessons from it have sustained me through the trials of parenting a newborn. Much better than any of the "how to" books I've read on raising kids!!!

I read this book 3 short months after my first child was born. I am so glad that I came across this Biblically sound view of the responsibilities and treasures of parenting at that early date. I also was greatful for the perspective that this book offered on my relationship with my own parents. Every child who longs to honor his parents and raise a child who does the same will take joy in reading this book.

For years my wife and I had debated whether or not we should have a child. My wife just didn't have that strong emotional drive some women have to procreate. My desire to have a child would come and go. Finally, when my desire to have a child came again, we prayerfully decided to go for it. The pregnancy was filled with painful and expensive complications, which was followed by severe postpartum depression. I felt terrible guilt for asking my wife to do this. My daughter is a year old now. She's perfect. God couldn't have made a more beautiful child. But parenting is a lot tougher than I'd imagined and I was fighting the notion that I'd made a mistake. After the first frustrating, sleep deprived year, I felt that I was clearly not cut out to be a parent. However, Sacred Parenting changed my mind. It showed me there every single parenting experience, whether good or bad, was a gift from God that would shape my soul for eternity. He also pointed out all the simple pleasures that awaited me in the future. Thanks for showing me the light, Gary. You are wise beyond your years.
