Decisive Parenting: Forming Authentic Freedom in Your Children

by Michael S. Moynihan

If you seek to raise your children in Christian authenticity and virtue, Moynihan’s book will be a gift to your vocation as a parent. With a seemingly endless stream of parenting books available, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. Moynihan “hits the nail on the head” by enveloping the Big Picture into the Everyday, and showing how the little details lead to the final goal. His advice and experience will guide you in your quest to teach your children to love beauty, truth, and goodness. Most importantly, you’ll be able to give your children the tools they need to live in virtue with equanimity, confidence, and self-mastery.

Written intelligently, rather than as a “self-help” book. One of the few parenting books I’ve read multiple times.

First book of 2024! While I don't agree with all of the ideas contained within here, I certainly connected with many things. Lots to think about. Borrowed the book from the Young Marrieds library.

A short quick read with very practical advice. Would recommend to any parent trying to raise kids in 2024. Might make this an annual read just to keep it at the forefront
