Nathan was different and Sally knew it.
From his early childhood, Nathan was bursting with creativity and uncontainable energy, struggling not only with learning issues but also with anxiety and OCD. He saw the world through his own unique lens-one that often caused him to be labeled as "bad," "troubled," or someone in need of "fixing."

Bravely choosing to listen to her motherly intuition rather than the loud voices of the world, Sally dared to believe that Nathan’s differences could be part of an intentional design from a loving Creator with a plan for his life. She trusted that the things that made him different were the very things that could make him great.

Join Sally and Nathan as they share their stories from a personal perspective as mother and son. If you are in need of help and hope in your own journey with an outside-the-box child, or if you’re an adult trying to make sense of your differences, you’ll find deep insight, resonance, and encouragement in the pages of this book. Dare to love and nurture the "different" one in your life. Saber más

At the heart of this book is a fundamental truth many Christian parenting books overlook-the life of God.
The Lifegiving Parent is about what we did to bring God’s life into our home for our children to see and believe. That’s what it means to be lifegiving parents-to introduce our children to the living God of Scripture and to give them the life that we have found in Him.

We offer no special or secret formula that will make you a successful Christian parent, and we would counsel you to avoid any parenting book that does. We offer only our personal experience and insights, and the promise that God’s grace will be in abundant supply for anything you decide to do, by faith, to become a lifegiving parent for your children.

That will be the real story of this book-how God comes alive in your family.
