Resources
Focus on the Family Articles on biblical discipline, parenting helps, building relationships, sexuality, thriving family magazine, the family store, and many other topics.
National Center for Biblical Parenting Dr. Turansky has written many resources from God’s word to help parents establish guidelines for parenting. Parenting is Heart Work from a theological and practical perspective. Nine functions of the heart are explored and made practical.
The Family Challenge Developing a family ministry in your church and in your home is defined and supported in this global initiative. Three steps provide more intentionality than just sending children off to church: 1. Build relationships, 2. Share scripture, 3. Practice faith.
Family Time Training Free monthly activities and other ideas to help families remain involved with God’s word.
