Brave Moms, Brave Kids: A Battle Plan for Raising Heroes

by Lee Nienhuis

Overview

Hey, Mama

This world feels like it's spinning faster every day. As the darkness has crept in, your brave prayers may have given way to fearful pleas that your kids would experience God's kingdom—in a safe and comfortable way.

This generation needs heroes of the faith and your child can be one of them, but that will require you to be strong and BRAVE. You and I must call out the bold Christ followers within our children and help them face the unknown future with divine confidence.

Brave Moms, Brave Kids is an equipping tool that will help you...

• identify the qualities present in true greatness
• reject "mommy fears" and replace them with immovable truth
• learn strategies for praying for and training your children more effectively
• develop seven key lessons we must teach our children to live for Jesus

Courage starts with you, Mama. If you're going to raise a hero, you must become a hero—because brave kids need brave moms. Let's do this, together.

Love,
Lee
