Sacred Parenting (Gary Thomas)
Parenting a child is an in-depth course in spiritual formation, expressly designed by God to touch you and teach you in ways you could never have imagined. What if one of God’s primary intentions for you as a parent isn’t about successfully raising perfect children, but about your becoming more holy? Sacred Parenting helps you look at parenting from a different perspective. This six-session, video-based study by Gary Thomas offers a road map to new territory—sacred territory defined by the children God has given to teach you his lesson in love.
