Countercultural Parenting: Building Character in a World of Compromise

Countercultural Parenting by Lee Nienhuis is the best parenting book I’ve ever read (might be one of the only ones!). What I love most about this book is the balance of reminding us as parents how much our walk with Christ matters before we can disciple our children. She takes the time to include vast amounts of Scripture within this book. She explains the referenced Scripture and how it relates to the changing of our personal cultures within our own hearts and households. Lee writes with the tone that she’s your best friend and has known you all your life! I LOVE that from an author and it makes me love the book even more. She takes the time to tell stories from her own life, things that are happening NOW, in order to be more relational to her readers. I’m so thankful she didn’t wait until the hard times had passed in her parenting before writing this book!! This book should be on all parent’s shelf as a genuine resource for Biblical parenting. I love that Lee reminds us that we have to change first before we can expect our children to change their behavior. Her encouragement through the book and tidbits of humor will touch the heart and warm the soul.
