Ready to Launch: Jesus-Centered Parenting in a Child-Centered World, Member Book

by J.D. Greear, Veronica Greear

Ready to Launch Bible Study Book includes a small-group experience for seven sessions, exercises for parents between group meetings, applicable Scripture, and a group discussion guide. Christian parents are not seeking mere behavior modification in their children but the growth of truly godly passions. "Training a child up in the way he should go” must be done intentionally, with the mind and heart of God. Based on Psalm 127, this study plumbs the wisdom of the Bible about the goals of parenting, the stages of discipline, the role of the church, and strategies to shape the heart toward the gospel. J.D. and Veronica J.D. is Lead Pastor at The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. He is also the author of Recovering the Power that Made Christianity Revolutionary (2011) and Stop Asking Jesus into Your How to Know for Sure You are Saved (2013). J.D. and his beautiful, relatable, fun, and passionate wife, Veronica, live in Raleigh, N.C. and are raising four ridiculously cute Kharis, Alethia, Ryah, and Adon. J.D. completed his Ph.D. in Theology at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary where he is also a faculty member, and Veronica is a graduate of the University of Virginia.
