Testimonials for Disciple Like Jesus
We don't have to go far to find a great parenting book. In fact, there is an abundance of people willing to teach you how to parent better. But "great parenting" alone has yielded many of the poor results we see today. Alan Melton and Paul Dean have gotten it right. If we are to see young men and women who look like Christ, then we must disciple as Christ did. In Disciple Like Jesus for Parents, you'll be challenged to realize the death of "because I said so." Our children are reading our actions because they have been engineered by God to do so. Will they see Jesus or a detached set of beliefs you once held? Discipling our children is the longest running gig we'll have, we've got to get it right!
As a missionary to university students for years, it was my job to fill in the gaps left by the church and well-meaning parents who missed the mark. I can't express the number of college students I counseled who had grown up in a Christian home but had little to no understanding of what it meant to be a Christian. Their parents had hoped they would "just get it." Our children don't "just get it" they must be taught to follow Christ: that is they must be discipled. Discipleship is the parenting wave that is now! We've got to model for our children how to live Godly lives just as Jesus modeled it for those the Father entrusted to Him. Read Disciple Like Jesus for Parents and prepare to have a paradigm shift. Your children are depending on it.

I just cannot say enough good things about this book from Alan Melton and Paul Dean. As the founder of FamilyDads.com, I receive books in the mail regularly from authors and publishers asking me to carry theirs on my site and promote it. With only so much time available to review new titles, I have to be somewhat selective in what I choose to personally read.
Disciple Like Jesus For Parents is one such book I chose. I found myself underlining much of the text and writing personal notes and affirmations in the margins of most pages. When this happens, I know I've found a book I want to let other parents know about.
Perhaps the two aspects I like most about this book are the abundance of scripture quotes with references, and the many practical applications, suggestions, and pointers the authors give us. For example, Chapter 8 doesn't just tell us in vague terms to build relationships and "community" in our homes, but gives practical ways of doing so, with a list of at least 20 indoor and outdoor activities that can be done together as a family.
Since both authors are parents themselves, their advice is not coming from inexperience and "theory," but rather from the perspective of what has (and hasn't) worked in training and discipling their own children.
If your heart is turned to your children, and you are looking for a Biblically sound, practical resource to disciple them in your Christian faith, (did I mention practical?), I strongly recommend Disciple Like Jesus For Parents and read it with pen in hand.
You'll gain wise words and useful, Biblical insights in your journey as a parent with your children.
