Many Christian parents are at their wits end about raising their children in a healthy and spiritual way. Increasingly the influence of the world, with it's 'me first' obsession, is causing problems within the Christian home.
This influence causes Christian families to fall into the four categories:
- The disillusioned family
- The distracted family
- The disciplinarian family
- The dedicated family
All end up being influenced by the culture rather than by their faith.
Is your family influenced by the culture rather than your faith. Is your family falling into an unhealthy pattern of behaviour? It's time to find out and put things right.
If you want to help your family then the Sisemore's are here to help break the cycle.

"Dr Sisemore's clear, biblical theology is the anvil that has shaped and informed his own professional practice in child psychology. Avoiding the sentimentality of so much contemporary thinking, he is utterly realistic about the fallen-ness of human nature, yet equally sure of the richness of book personally, and as a pastor I recommend it warmly to all who want to nurture children in the true gospel faith. Digested and applied, it will help us to bring our children for Christ in a hostile world as he wants us to - in faith not fear."
- Dr. William Philip, Minister, St Georges Tron Church, Glasgow, Scotland
Tim Sizemore explores the implications of "pure and undefiled religion" (James 1:27) for the parenting task. This is done through extended discussions of the fruit of the Spirit as listed in Galatians 5. The premise is that the "negative" goal of being "unstained by the world" is only accomplished in conjunction with the "positive" goal of being filled with the Spirit. Each chapter deals with one type of Spiritual fruit. First, he discusses ways that our culture tends to encourage the opposite of that particular fruit in us and in our children. Then he gives exposition of the Scriptures' teaching on that "fruit." Finally, he offers practical suggestions on how to help children be shaped by Scripture and the Spirit rather than by opposing cultural influences. This book has been a great encouragement in my own sanctification and growth as a father. I recommend it highly to anyone who is interested in building a truly Christian home.
