Courageous Parenting for Dangerous Times. We live in frightening times, when stories of terrorism and child abductions lead the evening news, and kids regularly experiment with such dangers as drugs, alcohol, and premarital sex, raves and the occult. At such times, it seems to many parents that the world is falling apart. Nothing is more terrifying than sending our children out into a dangerous world. But what can we really do to protect our kids?
You Can Lead Your Family Out of Fear and Into Effective, Godly Living.
Scripture tells us that centuries ago, Daniel and his friends also faced a hostile world.
