This companion resource to The Lifegiving Parent is intended for use as a Bible study and discussion guide in conjunction with the core book. Each chapter begins with a "Lifegiving Parent Moment" narrative with probing questions, then moves into a study of relevant scriptures and discussion of the lifegiving parent principle, and concludes with prayer suggestions. The book and guide together make a great 10-week study of how to become a lifegiving parent for your children.

- What did you like about the book and why? It is filled with knowledge and helps to keep parents on track. It can was easy to connect with and I felt that most of what was included would really help other parents as well.
- What did you not like about the book and why? I felt like this was more of a do it directional than a cozy ease into it guide. Possibly some people may be shut off by the more firm commitments and thoughts.
- What did you learn? Everyone has a different way to bring up children and the authors of this book are more stern as well as super focused on faith based parenting.
- To whom would you recommend this book and why? Anyone of any older age that either already is or might be expecting to be a parent. If you are going to bring up your child to believe in the Christian lifestyle, this may be a very good benefit to you.
I really liked the book Lifegiving Parent so I was hopeful for the workbook. I found it too fluffy. The questions were either incredibly vague, or he used very specific language that showed that he was thinking of a specific answer when he wrote the question but he didn’t define his terms well enough for me to understand what he meant. I just did not get anything out of it at all.
