Endorsements/Forewords: It is very difficult to promote Danny Silk s ministry without sounding like I have the need to exaggerate. But the truth is, in the circle I run in, he is without equal. His discernment gives him access to root issues that have become obstacles to relational peace and blessing,while his wisdom enables him to be a builder of families and an architect of relationships. I heartily recommend Danny and all his materials to help bring about God s best for your life. --Bill Johnson Senior Leader of Bethel Church, Redding, CA

I have known Danny Silk for more then twenty-five years. He has the most amazing ability to understand the root causes of social and behavior issues of anyone I have ever encounter in my thirty years of working with people. Our team has been encouraging him to write this book for a long time, as his timeless wisdom needs to be imparted to the masses. BUT READER BEWARE: Danny s insights often smash old religious mindsets and free people from the bondage of spiritual captivity.You will find that you are laughing and crying yourself into new relational paradigms as you willingly walk head first into his sword. His stories will capture your heart, his wisdom will astonish you and his life will change you forever. This book is a must read for everyone,whether you have children or not. --Kris Vallotton, Senior Associate Pastor of Bethel Church, Redding, CA

Product Description

Here is a fresh look at the age-old role of parenting.Loving Our Kids on Purpose brings the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival into our strategy as parents. 2 Corinthians 3:17 tells us that Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. Most parenting approaches train children to learn to accept being controlled by well meaning parents and adults. Unfortunately, God is not going to control us as we gain independence from our parents.We must learn to control ourselves.This book will teach parents to train their children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart to heart relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life changing book!, November 9, 2008

By	Single Mom "Dina Gifford" (Redding, CA) - See all my reviews

I am a single mother of 3 kids and the owner of my own business. My life used to be filled with stress and chaos. The tools in this book helped me become the mother I always desired to be. I have not arrived, but for the first time I have the tools that are working for my family. My children and I now have a loving and peaceful home filled with hope, rather than a home filled with destructive behavior and destructive communication. Prior to reading this book my life was an absolute mess, this book has completely changed my life and the destiny of my children's lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving, Caring and not Controlling our Children, December 16, 2008

By	Robert A. Burns "Pastor Bob" (Wyomissing, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent gift for Grandmothers and Grandfathers to give to their son, daughter, son-in-law and daughter-in-law. Oops, also for Moms and Dads to give to each other! Tt is just great! All kids are seemingly hurting for 100% parental and grandparental love. The author bases his biblical teachings in the book on the Word, love and life experiences. Do we all know how to make a heart-to-heart connection? A favorite chapter is "Changing Our Truth Filters" This important book is for all teachers of children and is set off in short topical sections for ease of reading with time demands, and learning and putting into everyday practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Parenting Advice I ever heard... and opposite of most of what we've been told!, March 14, 2009

By	Kim Konrad (Valparaiso, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I thought I had a great relationship with my daughter so I wasn't in a hurry to dive into all things Danny Silk - until I heard him speak at my church. He rewired my thinking. I slowly began to collect his teaching (you can download his Mp3 teachings). I work with teens in crisis and I see bad parenting all the time, but after reading this series I have a much better understanding. Let me sum up Danny's book like this...

We're afraid our kids will make the wrong choice so we either limit their choices to the right one and the other right one or we manipulate them into making the right decision. Then when something bad happens we step in the way of the consequence and figure out the solution for them and tell them what they're going to do with the mess they created. Danny's method let's them learn how to think... AMAZING! They get to make the choice and then we don't stand in the way of the consequences. They have to figure out solutions to their own messes. It empowers our kids. They have confidence in their decisions because they can mess up in a SAFE environment. How often do Christian families raise "GOOD" kids and then when they go off to college, they suddenly turn "BAD"... it's because the parents never taught their child how to think for themselves and come up with solutions to their problems that make them learn what the best choice is so the next time that same situation arises, they know how to avoid that consequence - DO WHAT'S RIGHT!

If you want to learn how to raise a competent adult, Danny has tools that are so easy to implement. This works for any age child. You can also implement these strategies with employees and students if you teach.
