Publisher's Synopsis
How many times have you ever received unsolicited parenting and grandparenting advice only to realize that the person giving it didn't have a ton of experience dealing with serious issues? There are a lot of families where their kids are "pleasers" and they don't have many issues to deal with. While other families seem to struggle with each child.
Based on the syndicated radio program with Keys for Kids Ministries, Parent Minute with Greg Yoder, Imperfect Parenting in an Imperfect World, is a daily devotional that offers real-world advice from one imperfect parent to another. It was borne out of the fact that Greg is a parent and grandparent who has dealt with a lot of stuff. It hasn't been easy. While he and his wife have had successes in parenting, they've also had a lot of heartache. They made some good decisions. They made some bad ones. And they learned from all of them. He shares both in this book. Parent Minute with Greg Yoder is a syndicated radio program, internet resource, and now a devotional book, coming from an imperfect parent talking to other imperfect parents in a very imperfect world. The most important thing is that he looks to God's Word for instruction, encouragement, and hope as we parent the kids in our lives. God never called us to be perfect parents, but he did call us to be faithful parents. It's impossible to do that perfectly. Even in that faithfulness, there are no guarantees in parenting. He hopes this book will encourage you each day by talking about issues facing families today. Some issues are common. Other issues are difficult and hard to talk about. Ultimately, though, we look to God for guidance, and rest on the fact that God is in control, yes, even in difficult parenting moments.
