In a national survey of the state of families in America (Bowman, 2012), parents reportedly believe that raising children today is more complicated than it used to be. Along with that, most perceived that the quality of American family life was declining. In addition, 55% of the parents surveyed expressed a concern that they were not doing a very good job of parenting.
In essence, the study concluded that, “for today’s mothers and fathers, there is no clear map that charts the path for nurturing the next generation of adults” (Bowman, 2012, page 10).
We bring you good news. There is a map! The map that charts the path of parenting for us is the Word of God. Scripture’s principles for parenting are timeless.
