This writing seeks to assist parents in their growth process in a way that benefits their children. It may be considered a spiritual development guide for the parent.Our children are so important to us and it is necessary that we prepare ourselves as parents regardless of how old our children are. The entire family will benefit if one adult takes this journey. And please understand that it is a journey that must become enjoyable. You never reach a destination, but you find life satisfying as will your children.The writing also discusses a suicide within the family of the author. Did you know that in America, suicide is the third leading cause of death among ages 15-24? It is the second leading cause of death among those aged 24-35. The homicide rate in our country is lower than the suicide rate. Few would doubt that a relationship with God provides a greater sense of wellbeing and hope. Might one extend this to believe that such a relationship is sorely needed in those dark moments of life? Beyond this information, there is much good in this writing for a parent to treasure. Practice, spiritual concepts, and loving are presented.Recall the statement that the truth will set you free. There is a chapter in the book which discusses the extreme guilt that some religious teachings put on their followers. One cannot be free with a shackled mind. Erroneous thoughts and judgments that we place on our children are not just those of religious dogma. Beyond religious thought, free your mind and you can free the mind of your children.The book suggests the building of a relationship with the divine to be a better parent. Without this you are simply using some form of psychology with your children. That is insufficient. Your children will not respond to mental manipulation. Spiritual parenting means that you are willing to be directed by the spirit. Build your relationship with the divine and your children do benefit. You are not to evaluate this. You are to just enjoy the journey. The journey is your ever increasing faith that God is loving you and driving whatever you do in life.
