Arlene Pellicane does it again! She hits on a critical topic and calls us all to rise up to the task of parenting Gods way! In our empowering world, something is being lost: respect. Gods kingdom is a kingdom. It is not a democracy. He expects us to operate in respect and submission to a hierarchy of authority. A child who is not raised to do so may fit in, but he or she will not rise to the task of being godly in a godless culture. Many of the single sentences Arlene has written in here are alone worth the cost of the entire book.

How healthy is your home? This is the question that Arlene Pellicane asks readers at the opening of her newest book, Parents Rising. As the mother of seven children myself, I find I am always asking myself this question. Even seasoned parents get wearyand weary parents lose perspective. Arlene hits the nail on the head with her call back to Christ-honoring, common-sense parenting in which the parents assume the role God has given them and prepare to launch mature (or at the very least maturing!) young adults into the world to shine for Christ. Shell remind you of the priorities given in Gods Word for parentsstarting with remembering what the highest priority should be. If youve got children, this is a must-read. It gets right to the heart of the goal of parenting in such a time as this.
