Author Description

Over twenty-five years ago, I began to teach a series called, "Traits of a Healthy Parent." Through the years, I taught this material at various churches, conferences, men's retreats and adult education classes. Many came alongside me to further guide me to understand the implications of these emerging traits. This book is the end result of these many years of writing, teaching, and refining the material. Next to my relationship with Christ, the greatest joy of my life has been to be a parent. I have made many mistakes, falling short over and over again, and I am grateful for the grace and forgiveness my children have extended to me. Through the joys and heartaches of parenting, these ten traits have constantly guided me, and helped me to regain God's perspective on being a parent. May they instruct and encourage you so that you may be all that God would have you become as a healthy parent.
