Reaching Your Child's Heart: A Practical Guide to Faithful Parenting

by Juan Sanchez, Jeanine Sanchez

Overview

In Reaching Your Child's Heart, Juan and Jeanine Sanchez encourage parents from their gospel-shaped perspective that children don't need perfect parents—they need a perfect Savior.
Raising children can feel overwhelming as you try to navigate the many voices telling you what to do and not to do, but God has already given you everything you need to be faithful parents! Even though you may be exhausted and discouraged, take heart from the simple, biblical principles shared by Juan and Jeanine Sanchez that will point you to Jesus as your guide and helper as you seek to shepherd your children through every age and stage of growth.
As they share their own journey of parenting five children, the authors highlight the importance of a team-based approach of parenting together. They emphasize focusing on children's hearts, rather than behavior modification, and illustrate how daily faithfulness in the routine cares of life is never a waste of time.

Editorial Reviews

Juan and Jeanine Sanchez outline a biblical and theological framework of practical, gospel-oriented principles for parenting. Each chapter is followed by helpful discussion questions, giving an interactive opportunity for parents to assess and apply these biblical principles in their own families. We highly recommend Reaching Your Child's Heart as a very accessible, practical, biblically sound framework for parenting.

The book you have in your hands is a combination of biblical wisdom and genuine humility cultivated by years of trial and error learning to parent under God's hand. I love that the book begins by reminding you to pray and ends by emphasizing the need to trust in the Lord with all your heart rather than relying on your own understanding of your child's heart. Read this book and put it to work!

I first heard Juan and Jeanine talk about these parenting principles when I was a member at High Pointe Baptist, where Juan serves as senior pastor. Both my wife and I were tremendously blessed by the simple way in which they demystified parenting for us, and we still apply their advice with our kids to this day.

I'm so glad Juan and Jeanine wrote this book! Reaching Your Child's Heart establishes a firm, biblical foundation for godly parenting and provides a wealth of advice on how to live it out. Not formulaic but eminently practical, the book doesn't stir up guilt but gives the hope of the gospel. Whether you're a new parent or have teenagers, it will equip you to shepherd your children, pointing them to Christ.

Juan and Jeanine Sanchez have blessed a new generation of parents with their wise and gentle tone in this excellent book! Every chapter is saturated with biblical truth and practical wisdom, mingled with a conversational tone that makes it appealing. I wholeheartedly endorse this book as a rich treasure that I will pass on as my standard recommendation for parents for years to come!
