YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO PARENT IN FEAR!
In a culture swirling with confusion and compromise, raising children who love and follow Jesus feels increasingly daunting. But God is still raising up courageous parents—fathers and mothers who reject passivity, stand on truth, and train their children with eternal vision.
In Courageous Parenting, Barry Nichols draws from over four decades of parenting, discipleship, and pastoral leadership to equip believers to raise kingdom-minded children with clarity and conviction. Blending biblical wisdom, real-life stories, and prophetic insight, this book calls parents to:
-
Build a Christ-centered home that shines in a dark world
-
Discipline with love and authority, rooted in God’s Word
-
Guard the hearts of their children in a media-saturated age
-
Model genuine faith, repentance, and humility
-
Train sons and daughters to walk in truth and bring heaven to earth
Whether you’re a new parent or a seasoned one, Courageous Parenting will refresh your confidence, strengthen your resolve, and remind you that God is with you—and your children—for generations to come.
