Parenting with Spiritual Power by: Julie K. Nelson



“I wish children came with an instruction manual!” How many times have we heard this lament by a frustrated or overwhelmed parent? Perhaps we have said these words (or thought them) ourselves. There are “how to” manuals for practically anything: installing a new faucet, building a remote control car, baking an apple pie, refinishing an antique chair, or assembling a bicycle. Is there a formula or a perfect manual for raising children? Yes! The scriptures.

 In Parenting with Spiritual Power, Julie Nelson encourages you to crack open the manual and examine the lives and parenting principles of scriptural mothers and fathers. Discover powerful examples from figures like Adam and Eve, Moses, and the Brother of Jared along with suggestions for personal application in this essential book.

This is a great book written by Julie K. Nelson and is full of inspiration and shows us how God has given us the tools to raise kids. Shown from the Latter Day Saints perspective, it's definitely a book worth checking out.  I think alot of people could find great information from reading this book!
