May 31, 2005 -- Raising morally-mature children these days may seem like a pipe dream, but family counselor Diane Moore provides the help parents need to make it a reality
While searching the Bible for evidence of God's design for our spiritual and moral development, Diane began to see that God always worked with people at their various stages of
development, continually working to mature them to higher stages, what she calls, "The Secret Path the Heart Takes to Maturity."
In her book, Diane takes parents down this insightful path to help parents discover:
1. How vital they are in shaping their child's character
2. The importance of motives in changing hearts
3. Keys that will enable their child to make wise decisions in every stage of life
4. God's wonderful plan for moral development-and how parents can cooperate with Him to bring their children to full maturity in Christ.
Practical and informative, challenging and thoroughly biblical, "Parenting the Heart of Your Child" can help everyone in the family to make the right decision, even when no one is
looking.
Includes a study guide with Scripture references for applying the lessons of each chapter.
"Diane Moore helps parents establish the foundations that will help children develop positive decision-making skills," said Roger Cross, President Emeritus of Youth for Christ/USA.
