“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6

Anything worth doing takes effort, time, and perseverance – including parenting.  In The Connected Family, Paul and Carolyn Rayne present a practical twenty-six step program designed to help parents make their children a priority, lead them to make a commitment to God, and teach them the tools for Christian living.

“When we have won our children’s hearts, our parenting becomes not only more effective, but the rewarding experience God intended it to be.”

Capturing the affections of our children is the foundation of successful parenting.  Once we’ve accomplished this, instead of a laborious and frustrating struggle, parenting our children will become a true pleasure and joy.

Each chapter in this book contains a Step Forward section and a Journal Question and Answer section, and is intended to bring tangible, rewarding results for both parent and child.  The Connected Family is not just a book you read, it’s a book you do!

Put these principles and guidelines into practice and you will discover that it is possible to become a truly connected family – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
