We are by no means parenting experts, with four young boys we are in the thick of parenting. We will be reading and discussing this great book together. Our hope is to learn together and encourage each other as parents. We will be sharing some of our parenting wins and fails. This is ONLY an 8-week bible study, Thursday nights 6:30 PM to 8 PM. We are starting Thursday, April 19th and we would love if you would join us. It will be held in our community room at Family Books & Gifts located at 6349 Watt Avenue, North Highlands, CA 95660.
The book we will be using is Spiritual Parenting: An Awakening for Today's Families by Michelle Anthony. It is an excellent read, I highly recommend it. This is a free community bible study, you only need to purchase the book to follow along. You can purchase the book in class or on-line.
If you have any questions about the bible study you can e-mail me at theblogaboutitall@gmail.com. Please pre-register so we can plan properly.

This innovative approach to parenting provides you with an opportunity to cultivate a vibrant faith in your child. Dr. Michelle Anthony encourages parents to rely on God for guidance in their role as parents, offering numerous examples and biblical support.
From Publishers Weekly
Parenting books can be preachy--this one is different. The Ph.D. mom-author’s conversational style is rarely preachy and more narrative than didactic as she describes her “Aha!” moments when she moved from attempting to control her children’s behavior to putting them into environments where they can know God and be changed by Him. This is not a “how to” parenting manual, but a guide for developing as a spiritually minded parent who asks, “Who did God create my child to be?” Attractive to many readers is the author’s mix of competence and vulnerability. Her writing is vivid and revealing. The book speaks to the journey that all parents must learn to accept: to hear God’s voice and change along with their children.
