Pastor shares personal parenting experiences
2011-04-29
LONGWOOD, FL â€" Although
many people think that children come without instructions, Pastor Larry
Youngblood believes differently. In his book Biblical Principles for
Parenting: How God Trained My Wife and Me to Raise Our Children ($14.99,
paperback, 9781613792353), he explains that the Bible provides all the
necessary instructions for raising children. But before parents can even begin
to train their children, they must apply the Bible literally to their own lives
by having a firm set of Biblical principles and practicing Godly character
traits. According to Youngblood, children pay more attention to our actions
than they do to our words and, because of this, we must live as authentic
examples of the trained Christian.
Biblical Principles for Parenting: How God Trained My Wife and Me to
Raise Our Children portrays the
message that our Lord is a God of grace and even if we
have not always followed God’s plan for child rearing, it is never too late to
ask forgiveness and begin again. All around us we can see examples of families
who are suffering because parents have failed God and their children. Youngblood hopes this book
will help other families by being transparent about his family’s personal
struggles. The message of this book â€" forgiveness, grace to
start again and literal instructions from the Scripture â€" is essential to
saving our families by accepting God’s blessings.
For over 40 years, Pastor Larry Youngblood has carefully studied the
Scripture and benefited from the teachings of other pastors, teachers and
evangelists. He graduated from Gwinnett Hall
Baptist College in Lawrenceville, Georgia, where he teaches as a guest
professor in Biblical studies. Having experienced many facets of
parenting, Youngblood has pastored for more than 34
years at Calvary Baptist Church in Auburn/Carl, Georgia.
