Help! The world is so immoral and evil at times, how can I protect my kids from it? Do I force them to go to church, or put them in a Christian school to be safe? How do I build loving relationships with my children so that when I give them advice or share God's truth, they will listen to me? When and how do I discipline or give them grace for things they shouldn't have done? Author Kent McClain spent years researching God's Word to find answers to these and other difficult parenting issues, working as a pastor, associate pastor, children and family life minister, youth director, Christian school superintendent, teacher, coach, parent and grandparent Using 1,100 verses in 422 passages he offers insight and helpful direction in Teachable Moments to guide and assist parents in their role as mentor, discipler, disciplinarian, provider, teacher, and friend.
