Raising Passionate Jesus Followers

Marriage, Family & Relationships

“Of course they weren’t perfect, but they were wonderful. The lessons they teach on parenting might not seem revolutionary, but I can say this: most of the relational and personal success I’ve seen in my own life is because of my parents’ tireless efforts to teach me to love well, serve others, and seek to know God more every day. Rebekah (Comer) Opperman My husband and I want nothing more than to raise all four of our kids to love and serve Jesus with every part of their lives. Most days we feel hopelessly inadequate—kids don’t come with an instruction manual! Although my parents are quick to admit they’re far from perfect, the wisdom they have gathered from their years of seeking Jesus and allowing His ways to shape their own parenting is pure gold. We frequently call them to seek advice and insight. Now I’m thrilled to have all that wisdom and understanding available to anyone who shares our hope of raising the next generation of passionate Jesus followers. Elizabeth (Comer) Mosser My wife and I are entering our third year of marriage, and kids could potentially be in the near future. Because of this, we’ve begun to talk about how we want to raise our children. To be honest, the thought is terrifying! We want to raise kids who grow up knowing they’re loved and who know how to love well. Mostly, we hope they follow Jesus. Raising Passionate Jesus Followers teaches a way of parenting and raising children that does just that. In this book, Dad and Mom have shared not simply good ideas, but practical methods that actually work. This isn’t a guide to being the perfect parent—that’s impossible—but if you share our desire to do parenting well, then I encourage you to read this book.”
