Challenges of Childrearing Diminish in Face of God's Power
Author implements a unified plan for addressing familial situations

LONGWOOD, FL-Doing our best as a parent is not what God wants; He wants us to do His will. The fact is most Christian parents today did not have a godly example given to them by their own parents, leaving them ignorant and confused over God's will in raising children. God preempted this by giving us what we need within His Word to instruct us. Pastor Craig F. Caster's Parenting Is a Ministry (paperback, 978-1-60266-198-1) contains practical tools to help parents build a strong spiritual foundation, work together as a team, disciple their children, instill character traits such as personal responsibility and self-control in them, and meet their children's emotional needs without compromising their faith.

Says Caster, a longtime family counselor, "This generation of parents largely struggles with how to bring up our children with the love and training God intended for them to receive. This is largely due to a lack of good examples from our parents and effective discipling from the church. His Word is complete lacking nothing to teach us how to do all things. It is time to examine our ways and return to the Lord."

Caster, who has been involved in family ministry since 1985, has witnessed firsthand many lives being changed by applying the principles taught in this book. He has learned that when the Word of God is practiced diligently in the homes of people, it yields the power of God and glorifies Him every time.

Pastor Craig F. Caster is the founder and director of Family Discipleship Ministries. He has over 20 years of family ministry experience as a youth pastor, marriage and family counselor, teacher, speaker, and author. Caster has been married since 1980 and has three children.
