The World we live in is a hard and tough World to live in without having the LOVE of Jesus. A Major Parenting Goal in our household has always been to raise our Boys to be Upstanding God Fearing Men. Our boys are now Young Adults and it truly has been a tough Journey to help them navigate the World. They were raised in the Church since birth and have been around Encouraging Pastors and Adults, including myself and my husband, but without God it almost seemed impossible.I REALLY LOVE the insight and encouragement throughout this wonderful book Fighting for the Soul of Your Child by Jimmy and Karen Evans. I know I gained some insightful info from here that I intend to implement into our household. My "Young Adult Men" will always need nurturing from us parents and they all still live at home, so the parenting really hasn't ended. A couple of our boys have very different opinions on Worldly issues and it is disheartening at times. I know as children grow up their thoughts change, but there is still time to instill in them and FIGHT for their SOULS!! I HIGHLY recommend this book for Parents at all Stages of Parenting! FANTASTIC BOOK!
