This book is intended to show a correlation between how God, through His word, acts as a parent to us, and the way we should parent our children. Parents may think they have the right answers on the most effective way to lead their children into adulthood, yet the truth remains that God is the only one who really knows what methods work best. God is the first parent, and the parenting style He outlines in the Bible is apparent. In a scripture-based guide, Patricia Nichols explores topics that detail what God has to say about the subject of parenting according to the Bible. As she leads believers through biblical teachings, Patricia teaches how to make quality decisions as a parent by following God's guidance when disciplining children, learning to act like God by staying prayerful, trusting God to answer prayers according to His will, so we can nurture children to reach their full potential, and much more. God Is a Parent and Apparent shares biblically inspired wisdom that guides parents to trust God's Word to confidently and effectively raise children to become productive, faithful adults.
