It's teaching your child who God is and who we are with and without him. It's about big sinners raising little sinners."In the book, Michael shares how to:* create a culture of confession in your home* move from natural parenting to spiritual parenting* achieve discipline through discipleship instead of emotion* parent shoulder-to-shoulder instead of nose-to-nose* become an authority in your child's life...and more!Michael DiMarco is the bestselling author of numerous books including God Guy, Devotions for the God Guy, the God Guy Bible, Own It, Die Young, Independence Day, and the 2010 Christian Book of the Year for Youth, Before You Date.
