What people are saying about "Parenting on Purpose."
“This is a fabulous book. If you have children — read it! If you don’t have children yet —read it in preparation.”— Matthew Kelly
New York Times best-selling author of The Rhythm of Life and Building Better Families“A truly delightful read, this book offers prayerful insights and practical steps to becoming great Christian parents with terrific Christian children.

Granddad of fourteen and author of Adventures in Daily Prayer“What a beautifully written book, filled with wisdom, wit and encouragement for Christian parents!

Author of Be a Man!: Becoming the Man God Created You to Be
Founder, The Reason for Our Hope Foundation“I truly enjoyed Parenting on Purpose. It is a great read — a true gift to Christian parents young and old. The stories shared within are as moving as they are practical. With every turn of the page I was boldly affirmed and gently challenged in my own parenthood. This is a great gift for any Christian parent who takes their vocation seriously… and a needed gift for any who (sadly) might not.”— Mark Hart
Best-selling Catholic author and speaker
Executive Vice President, Life Teen International“Parenting on Purpose by Jason Free comes right from the heart of a dedicated Christian dad. It is a must-have guide on the essentials for raising Christian kids in today’s challenging world. This versatile guide is fun to read, chock full of practical ideas, and based on solid biblical principles that will keep moms and dads on track through the lifelong adventure of bringing up terrific Christian kids.”— David Came
Executive Editor, Marian Helper magazine
Author of Pope Benedict’s Divine Mercy Mandate“It is refreshing to read a book that not only points you in the right direction but gives you practical ideas on how to get there. Parenting on Purpose is filled with insights on parenting that will change lives for eternity.”— Jeff Cavins
Speaker and author of The Great Adventure: A Journey through the Bible“At the beginning of Parenting on Purpose, Jason Free says that his book is not a manual for
Christian parenting. I wholeheartedly disagree. Free gives Christian parents a formula for parenting that will, with God’s grace, produce happy, well-adjusted, faith-filled children. His warm, personal, easy-going style is engaging and at the same time challenging. He calls readers to greater holiness and fidelity to the Lord and their spouse, all the while forming the reader in biblically based parenting. Parenting on Purpose made me laugh and cry, but more importantly it made me rethink the way I parent my own children. I am a better dad for having read this book.”— Patrick Novecosky
Editor of Legatus Magazine; correspondent for the National Catholic Register; contributing writer for Faith & Family Magazine“An easy and enjoyable read, full of great practical advice for Christians of all denominations. The principles Jason presents are so universally true and scripturally-based that this book is a veritable Mere Christianity of Christian parenting and should prove of great value to all who follow Christ. I highly endorse Parenting on Purpose for all parents, and indeed, for grandparents too. In fact, I can hardly think of a more perfect gift for parents and for couples awaiting their first (or next) special arrival.”— Kevin Vost, Psy.D.
Author of Memorize the Faith!, Fit for Eternal Life, Unearthing Your Ten Talents, and From Atheism to Catholicism“With Parenting on Purpose, Jason Free has offered parents some of that elusive ‘ magic formula’ we’re all seeking when we become parents, or when life becomes even more complicated as our families grow. Jason’s insights and perspectives will help any parent to do his or her job more intentionally, with greater care and with an increased reliance upon prayer and scripture for guidance. Written from the trenches of family life, this book will uplift you, inspire you, and help you to see the blessings inherent in raising faith-filled kids. Kudos!”— Lisa M. Hendey
Founder and editor of www.CatholicMom.com
Author of The Handbook for Catholic Moms“Parenting on Purpose belongs on every Christian parent’s bookshelf.

Often funny, sometimes sad, and always engaging, Parenting on Purpose will give you a whole new sense of direction as a parent and help you guide your children to a lasting and fulfilling relationship with God.”— Vinny Flynn

Si usted alguna vez ha tenido problemas meditando mientras reza el Rosario, este es el folleto para usted.
En el se presentan pasajes breves de las escrituras antes de cada Ave María, a fin de ayudarlo a mantenerse enfocado en cada misterio. Los pasajes han sido seleccionados cuidadosamente de modo que, mientras usted ora el Ave María, se desarrolla gradualmente la historia del evento que está contemplando.
Además de ayudarlo a mantener su mente en los misterios, cada pasaje de las escrituras también agrega el poder de la Palabra de Dios. Como lo explica el Papa Juan Pablo II, cuando utilizamos las escrituras para ayudarnos a contemplar y “recordar” con María los grandes misterios de su Hijo, no solo estamos “recordando una información, sino dejando ‘hablar’ a Dios” (RVM #30). Entonces el Rosario se transforma en “un itinerario contemplativio … un compendio del mensaje evangélico” (RVM #38).
In this inspiring and easy-to-use guide, author Mary Flynn leads you on a personal journey to a more intimate encounter with God the Father in the Sacrament of Confession.
A perfect companion to 7 Secrets of Confession, this chapter-by-chapter study guide is a great resource for: individual use, discussion groups, CCD classes, or RCIA formation. You’ll learn how to personalize each “secret,” gain fresh in¬sights into its relevance to your daily life, and find new ways to respond to God in the confessional. Each chapter offers:• thought-provoking ideas for personal reflection• down-to-earth questions for discussion or journaling• meaningful challenges for daily life• additional readings from Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the Diary of St. Faustina• the author’s own insights, which will invite and inspire you to make a personal response to the merciful Heart of God

“Quiero comulgar, así que me tengo que confesar.”
Te resulta familiar? Para muchos Católicos, la confesión es solo un medio para alcanzar un fin: lavarnos del pecado para poder recibir la Comunión. Sin embargo, como nos dice el Papa Francisco, la confesión es mucho más que “ir a la lavandería.” Es “un encuentro con Jesús que nos espera como somos.”
En 7 Secretos de la Confesión, el autor de gran éxito de ventas, Vinny Flynn, explora las verdades “ocultas” de ese encuentro con Cristo, presentando lo que para muchos será un modo nuevo de acercarse a la confesión, e invitándote a iniciar un apasionante camino personal de sanación y santidad.
Si aún no ansias la consfesión de la misma manera que ansias la Comunión, lee este libro. Cambiará tu vida.
