"Scott Turansky and Joanne Miller have taken an essential element of parenting and given us practical ideas to put into practice." --Josh McDowell "This excellent and very practical book is one I wholeheartedly recommend to every parent!" --Marilyn Howshall, Empowered Hearts Ministry God is in the business of change. He changes his children and focuses on our hearts. We took that idea, examined every time the word "heart" is used in the Bible and came to exciting revelations about parenting. If we can use the same strategies that God uses to bring about change in his children, we can help children make huge changes more quickly and changes that last longer.We have now used these strategies to coach parents one-on-one all over the world. The principles work and help even the most challenging children make major changes. Dr. Scott Turansky is a pastor and a professor at Concordia University where he teaches the Masters level parenting program to students who are getting a degree in Family Life Education. He also has a private practice where he coaches parents of children with all kinds of challenges including ADHD, emotional challenges, defiance, and issues related to adoption. He and Joanne Miller, RN, BSN head up the National Center for Biblical Parenting where they have trained over 150 presenters to teach live parenting seminars and trained over 300 Biblical Parenting Coaches. They are the authors of 15 parenting books and have developed heart-based strategies that work. The National Center for Biblical Parenting was birthed in the early 90s. Although they had no idea how big the ministry would develop, they knew that their heart-based, practical, biblical approach was strategic for helping Christian families reach their full potential.
