Parenting on Point

by James C. Williams

This book will walk parents through the important aspects of a parenting plan, offering practical tips and strategies aimed at keeping their family anchored to important family values and beliefs that will redirect them when the tug of popular culture pulls them off course. An accompanying compact disc helps individuals "get to know" the author as they listen to him tell his own powerful story, including the tragic death of his son and his rollercoaster ride with God, and hear his dynamic presentation of the book's highlights. The CD can be used as an introductory preview to the book as well as a helpful and convenient "refresher course" for busy parents of preschoolers to teens. "Jim Williams' book Parenting on Point teaches the skills needed to nurture the growth and development of our children in today's world by focusing 'on point'--on God's path for our lives. Childrenf all ages, whether in your own family or not, can benefit tremendously through your interactions with them. I urge you to read this book and make a difference in their lives." --Ken Blanchard co-author, The One Minute Manager and Whale Done James C.

I really enjoyed this parenting book b/c the author read many books on parenting and then combined the best of the best with his personal experience. I love books like this b/c I don't have the patience to read all the books on one of the hardest to master topics on the planet (parenting), and one I feel so inept at often. Jim Williams son died in a tragic accident, and this changed his mission in life. His life goal is now to help other parents be the parent he was not through this book and speaking engagements. If you like practical and to the point, you will like this book.

Went to a seminar tonight at the school where Jim Williams spoke & I got his book. He had a lot of great points... and even though I have raised my kids, now I have my grandsons living me for a while & it's dejavue all over! Hopefully this will give me more insight on what to do and not do with them.
