You can raise good kids! Here is the book you have been waiting for! Loving Our Kids on Purpose shows you how to plant in your children the principles of the Kingdom of God and a heart for the Lord. The easily implemented plan gives you the tools to raise your children in the joy and fullness of the Lord Jesus.
Rather than traditional approaches, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships.
Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love (I John 4:18).
Loving Our Kids on Purpose introduces paradigms, perceptions, skills, and ideas that help parents reduce fear by eliminating the tool of punishment and strengthening the hearts of their children to fulfill their destiny.

This style of parenting is all about freedom. Learning how to le your children think for themselves and take control and responsibility for their own choices is very freeing as a parent. Through it, I have learned how truly amazing and capable my children are!
Christine Boring Mother of two
As a single mom and business owner, you could say I have some stress in my life. I am so grateful to Danny and this book: My home has gone from a place of chaos and confusion, to a place of peace and love. I am daily implementing everything I have learned from this material and have gone from anger and grief-filled relationships with my children to fun, loving, heart-connected relationships. I never thought I could really be in love with my sons because of all the rage and anger I carried. It brings tears to my eyes when I look back at where we were and where we are today.
