About the book: 

Becoming a Spiritually Healthy Family: Avoiding the 6 Dysfunctional Parenting Styles (David C. Cook, January 2015)

We all want to guide our children into the abundant life that Jesus offers. But when we pursue the more and better that the world offers above our pursuit of Jesus, we fall into dangerous parenting habits. InBecoming a Spiritually Healthy Family, Michelle Anthony unpacks six common dysfunctional parenting styles that we fall into out of habit, lack of attention, or just oversight due to busyness. If you long to show your children Jesus but don’t know how to do it, you’ll find hope in this practical guide to creating a relentlessly grace-filled home that is focused on God as first in charge.

Includes Scripture guides, reflection questions, ideas for family rites of passage, and other real life family examples.

My thoughts on Becoming a Spiritually Healthy Family:

 

Can I just say this is a convicting book?  I mean we all think we’re failing at parenting at times and doing well at others right?  Or is that just me?  Okay maybe I’m special.  This books covers some of the ways that we at parents can become the parent we don’t want to be.  And normally we don’t realize we are that parent until we’ve been them for a bit.  And then we’re convicted.  Using this book as a bit of a guide you can easily realize when you’re falling down the wrong path and rectify the situation to bring the focus back to where you want your family to be and modelling Jesus and his love to your family.  Love the questions and Scripture guide.  

 

Great book that will be one that you want to keep on your shelf for the duration of parenthood.
