Parents may think they have the right answers on the most effective way to lead their children into adulthood, yet the truth remains that God is the only one who really knows what methods work best. God is the first parent, and the parenting style He outlines in the Bible is apparent. <br><br>In a scripture-based guide, Patricia Nichols explores topics that detail what God has to say about the subject of parenting according to the Bible. As she leads believers through biblical teachings, Patricia teaches how to make quality decisions as a parent by following God\u2019s guidance when disciplining children, learning to act like God by staying prayerful, trusting God to answer prayers according to His will, so we can nurture children to reach their full potential, and much more. <br><br><b><i>God Is a Parent and Apparent<\/i><\/b> shares biblically inspired wisdom that guides parents to trust God\u2019s Word to confidently and effectively raise children to become productive, faithful adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/\/\/www.westbowpress.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/871819-god-is-a-parent-and-apparent\" style=\"border-radius:5px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ORDER A COPY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150 size-medium\" srcset=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-679x1024.jpg 679w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat-768x1159.jpg 768w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/cover-flat.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"background-color:#f5f5f5\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><br><strong>The Author<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/author_photo.jpg\" alt=\"author\" class=\"wp-image-297\" style=\"width:150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/author_photo.jpg 500w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/author_photo-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/authorwebservices-gem.net\/WestBowPress\/871819\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/author_photo-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Patricia A.
