Being a Christian parent is one of the most important responsibilities in
this world. So much is riding on how you choose to integrate your Christianity
into your parenting. And there is no shortage of opinions on the best system for
Christian parenting.
Perhaps the most unique and powerful method of Christian parenting is to
bring the voice of God to the absolute center of the process. (Learn more about hearing
God's voice elsewhere on our site.) The following materials will allow you to do just that.

"God has a vast reservoir of grace that He wants to pour into your life,
your home, and your family. And He has provided lots of ways by which that
grace can be channeled into your world. Unfortunately, these rivers of
grace can become littered with the debris of our own sinful thoughts and
actions, as well as the ungodly actions of our ancestors, creating dams
that prevent His grace from flowing the way He desires."
Mark & Patti Virkler, From the Introduction
The authors’ goal for this book is to help you, the reader, to clear
away the debris and remove the obstacles that are preventing the grace of
God from flowing freely in your family life. The Virklers offer
spiritual principles that are not often applied to family life, and in so
doing, will stimulate you to look in new ways at the dynamics of a family
that reflects God’s love.
"It is definitely
a book that I would recommend people read, whether single, married, with
children or expecting a child. If someone hasn’t heard about the
topics discussed in your book, they need to! The book helped to dispel
some beliefs I had previously held, and caused me to go to God and ask
Him what He thought about those things, which I think the book
communicated really well (not a bunch of rules, but relationship!). I
thoroughly enjoyed it!"
-- Denise Dunleavey
"I’ve recommended Rivers of Grace to every parent I know, as it is the BEST book on discipling children that I’ve ever read. Thank you!"

"I find such freedom in your book. I wish that I had had
more of this type of training when my children were younger. I must tell
you that a lot of the child rearing out there, even though it
claims to be Spirit-led, is simply sophisticated ways of manipulating
behavior. We need more things like what you’ve written
here! God bless you."
-- Pam Miller
"What an awe-inspiring, uplifting and encouraging word of God:
Not only the need to raise up children to love, serve and follow God’s
leading, but how to accomplish this seemingly impossible task. What
wonderful, easy-to-follow principles that can be applied to our own
lives and to all of God’s children, regardless of age or
parentage."
"After only reading the first two chapters I know my life is
being changed. Your book has been the first step God is using. I wanted
to let you know right away, that your book is inspiring me. Thank you so
much."
-- Jennifer Kamla
"The book was written in such a simple, clear way that any of us could understand the principles and put them into practice.
"Although I am a grandmother and am past raising children I found this book to be an excellent example of a woman who went against the
'normal' stream of society, and did what she felt the Lord wanted her to do for her children. She teaches and encourages through God’s Word and His principles, how to be the Mom (parents) we were called to be. I consider this to be an excellent book for all parents as well as educators."
-- Margaret Fraser
