About

The 7 Principles of Faith-Based Parenting is a book about the tools my wife and I used to raise our three daughters.  We have been asked by many people what was our secret to raising three girls who all stayed out of trouble, earned athletic scholarships and are well adjusted awesome young women.

My book is different because our girls all stayed on the straight and narrow, they excelled in school and in athletics.  We were not rich and using the minimal resources we had we made it happen.  We trusted in our God and on each other.  This is significant because my wife and I both came from broken families, raised by single moms with a history of family dysfunction.

The book is targeted for all families but mainly Christian couples who are raising their families in a challenging world.  I am hoping to give readers some insight on what it takes to raise successful kids, and to share with them things we did and by offering some exercises they can implement into their lives.  I am motivated to write this book to share what I know that has worked.
