Parenting Unchained

By Becky | December 10, 2014

When I find a book that really speaks to me, I share it with you. Lori Wildenberg, my ministry partner, and I have had the honor of working with Dr. Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller, founders of the National Center for Biblical Parenting. Lori and I were on the NCBP team at an Association of Marriage and Family Ministries conference in Dallas. I highly recommend the NCBP resources, including the newly released Parenting Unchained: Overcoming the Ten Deceptions that Shackle Christian Parents by Dr. James D. Dempsey.

Parenting Unchained takes a close look at ten lies parents fall for when raising children. Jim writes from his own experience as a parent with honesty. His transparency in sharing his personal journey of faith and parenting gives moms and dads true-to-life examples of how misconceptions and straight out lies can cloud the way one sees the world.

The chapters in Parenting Unchained address the ten deceptions, drawing on scripture. Each deception is followed by powerful parenting truths, taken from the Word of God, the best parenting book. This makes not only for an educational read but one filled with hope. We don’t have to believe the lies and we don’t have to parent alone.

The concepts laid out in Parenting Unchained are easy to understand and thought-provoking. The Home Activities are practical options for families to put the concepts into play. Parenting Unchained can be used as an individual, couple or small group study.

Really, every parent desires to raise good kids. This book will help guide parents raise great kids, with a heart for the Lord while building strong relationships within the family.

Find the book on Amazon or at the National Center for Biblical Parenting.

    Hi Becky! It’s a pleasure to work with you. This is a great review of Jim Dempsey’s book. I think many parents will find it helpful. It’s always good for us to examine possible ways that we’re being deceived. You can’t change until you see things as they are. Have a wonderful Christmas.
