Most Christian parents are bombarded with all kinds of advice and
plans and programs for how to be a great parent. In parenting eight kids
over the last twenty-five years, Julie Lyles Carr and her husband
experienced plenty of opportunity for learning, but it was when they
began to understand it was about parenting each child according to their
own unique needs and personality style that something wonderful
happened.
In Raising an Original, Carr helps to
redefine the primary purpose of Christian parenting, this raising of
the next generation. God has given each of our children specific gifts,
abilities and capacities for specific purposes and He can equip parents
to discover and support those powerful personality traits if they know
where to look and how to respond. So many kids raised in Christian homes
launch into their adult lives without any sense of knowing who they are
called to be or what their mission on earth is. What if parents,
teachers or mentors could help them discover the wondrous, unique
threads woven within them that will enable them to see their part in the
fabric of God’s universe?
Readers of Raising an Original will be equipped to help their children:
- Understand their unique strengths and the challenges associated with them
- Discover their God-given gifts and how to use them for His glory
- Succeed regardless of their circumstances
Includes the 4-Style Personality Traits Assessment Tool.
