Review

Raising Spiritual Children is a beautifully written book that fills a massive gap. I don't know of anyone else who has done what Patty Mapes has achieved here in providing a genuinely charismatic approach to parenting. This is a rare gift to the Body of Christ in general and to Christian families in particular. No parent can afford to be without this practical and prophetic resource. It will empower parents to draw out and cultivate the spiritual gifts that the Perfect Parent, Abba Father, has given to every Christian child. I wish I had read something like this twenty years ago, before the birth of the first of our four children! --Dr. Mark Stibbe - Leader and founder, Father's House Trust<br /><br />Raising Spiritual Children is a beautifully written book that fills a massive gap.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for Leaders and Parents, December 31, 2009

By	John L. Clark "Larry Clark" (Boston MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Raising Spiritual Children: Cultivating a Revelatory Life (Paperback)

This is the first book I have read that really covers most if not all aspects of Spiritual Maturity. From the point of view of Parenting, Pastoring and or even the child's, all the bases are covered. The transparency and character of Patty and Greg make this a fun, interesting and a book that goes beyond a challenge and demands a change. I have already implemented several new words and expressions into my communications with my boys and better, my wife. This book has real heart and I mean the heart of God for us. If you know something needs to change in the way we raise our children, disciple our young and or as you look at yourself, I assure you "Raising Spiritual Children" will bless and help transform our character and relationships.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nurturing your child's spirit is the most important parenting you can provide., December 5, 2009

By	Luana Joyce Smith "Joy" (Kentucky) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Raising Spiritual Children: Cultivating a Revelatory Life (Paperback)

Just completed reading Raising Spiritual Children. My children are 27 and 23 however I knew I was to read this book. God didn't so much point out mistakes I made, although there were some, as much as He showed me things that had held me back from my walk with Him. Thanks Patty and Greg for being used for the Kingdom.
