ARE YOU PARENTING OR ARE YOU PARENTING WELL? Raising kids today is more challenging than it has ever been. Technology, social media, and the ever-shifting standards of what is right and wrong can make parenting in modern-day culture difficult to navigate. If we want to win the battle as parents, we need to have the desire to truly parent well. If we want to parent well, we must resolve to make parenting more important than almost anything else and give it the effort and attention that’s required. With all the outside influences that kids are facing every single day, parenting well requires a heightened sense of commitment and discernment, as well as a willingness to lead by example. Most parents want to do the best job they can, and with much focus and effort can succeed in this very noble desire and responsibility. In Salt, Light, and Kids, Steve Hines helps parents train up their children to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world and to hear God’s voice above all the competing voices vying for their attention. "Whether you're expecting your first child or in the frontlines of the teen years, you will discover Salt, Light, & Kids to be an invaluable resource for your parenting journey."--CHRIS HODGES, NY Times bestselling author and Senior Pastor of Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, AL "Whether you're expecting your first child or in the frontlines of the teen years, you will discover Salt, Light, & Kids to be an invaluable resource for your parenting journey."--CHRIS HODGES, NY Times bestselling author and Senior Pastor of Church of the Highlands, Birmingham, AL "Steve distills the most important lessons he's learned over decades of parenting and explains what worked, what didn't, and why. And with proud endorsements from his grown-up son and daughter, his insights actually ring true. Present and future parents, give it a read/listen! You'll be glad you did: )" Joshua Porter, Voice Over Actor and Audible Narrator "The beautiful part of this book, in my opinion, is that unlike many parenting books, Steve doesn't claim to have all the answers. But he knows, and wants the reader to know, that God does have the answers. If you take nothing else from this, the simple fact that prayer should accompany every parenting decision is the best advice he could give. The modern world presents many, many challenges that parents of previous generations couldn't have imagined, but using the Bible as a guidebook, was, is, and always will be the best approach. I highly recommend this book."--Audible Customer STEVE HINES lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and has been married to his high school sweetheart Leigh Ann for 35 years.
