Inconvenient Parenting: Activate Your Child's God-Given Traits - Paperback

Biblical Guidance for Raising Christ-Honoring Children

Hope and help for shaping Christ-honoring future generations.

Families are like little churches. They are meant to be places of discipleship, worship, and rest--places where we can fine tune the gifts God's given us so we can bless the world. They can be full of surprises and joy. But family life can also be heartbreaking and downright discouraging. Trained counselor and mother Melissa Hannigan knows how hard it is to cast and keep a vision of rich family life. How do we cultivate a family culture that's vibrant and encouraging--a refuge amidst life's storms?

Twelve Essential Traits for Spiritual Development

Melissa is passionate about helping families build healthy, strong, God-honoring homes. In Inconvenient Parenting, she shares twelve qualities that are the key ingredients to that desired end:

Wisdom -- Wonder -- Vitality -- Sensitivity -- Flexibility -- Curiosity --

Creativity -- Imagination -- Inventiveness -- Playfulness -- Humor -- Joy

Melissa shows us why, though inconvenient at times, it's necessary to encourage and infuse these traits in our children and reveals how we can unknowingly discourage these qualities. Each chapter concludes with practical activities, book recommendations, and discussion questions to help parents immediately apply the principles discussed.
