children without a blueprint . Most would agree that parenting is far more important than vacations or new homes , yet they spend a disproportionate amount of time planning for areas that matter less .
LAUNCH YOUR CHILD INTO ADULTHOOD WITH CONFIDENCE
It ’ s pretty easy to get busy parenting and go about our days with no real plan , no strategy , or much thought to what will produce long-term fruit in our children . My wife and I recently wrote a book that Renewanation published called 50 Things Every Child Needs to Know Before Leaving Home to help you raise your child to become a mature adult who knows , loves , and serves Jesus Christ . It ’ s a guidebook and keepsake all in one , designed to help you establish a plan and be proactive for each season of your parenting journey . It is also formatted so that you can record your progress , capture special milestones and memories , and give the book as a special gift to your son or daughter . This book will be helpful for new parents who want a parenting plan as well as for parents of teenagers who are thinking about what they need to do to launch a child into adulthood . It ’ s never too early or too late to think about these things . Whether you have eighteen years or one year before your child leaves home , whether you are a married couple or a single parent , this book will help you chart a course to holistically disciple a child in the following areas : firm foundations , Christlike character development , biblical beliefs and worldview , spiritual growth , life skills , relational skills , work and money management , home management , personal care , and educational essentials .
Imagine the day your child graduates . It may be a long way off , or it may be right around the corner . Regardless , no one wants to arrive at this day wondering , “ Did I do the right things ?” “ Did I teach my child what is needed for lifelong faith in Christ ?” “ Did I provide my child with the essential training and tools for adulthood ?” We hope this book helps you answer all those questions with a confident “ YES !” ■
