In this small group study guide you will come face to face with issues that matter most to Christian couples: how to decide if you should have children, learning to raise whole and healthy children, affirming each child's unique qualities, dealing with the mistakes parents make, the home as a healing center, and teaching faith in the home. Critical topics for those who want to be the kind of parents God desires. Additional suggestions and helpful ideas are in the Leader's Notes.

How do you hand the tough challenges of parenting? Parenting. Nothing gives us more joy---or greater challenges. 'How do I balance my work and family time? What's the best way to handle my teenager's attitude? Can I do a better job of raising my kids?' Parenting helps you and your groups tackle the thorny issues parents face today. Each session covers a topic that's key to effective parenting, from raising well-balanced kids to overcoming the mistakes you make along the way. This practical, hands-on discussion guide helps you create a home where children can thrive. You'll develop confidence and competence in your God-entrusted role as a parent and enjoy watching your kids grow into vibrant, godly adults. Interactions---a powerful and challenging tool for building deep relationships between you and your group members, and you and God. Interactions is far more than another group Bible study. It's a cutting-edge series designed to help small group participants develop into fully devoted followers of Christ.
