Over the years, a mainstream approach to Christian parenting has emerged, and itâ€™s one that promotes sleep training and feeding schedules for infants, warns that spoiled children and marital discord are certain by-products of homes where newborns are over-indulged, and promotes these methods as the Biblical way to care for a new baby. Unfortunately, the message of mainstream parenting advice preys on the universal fear of new parents everywhere: the fear that if they stray from the program, their babies and their marriages will suffer.,In Spirit-Led Parenting: From Fear to Freedom in Babyâ€™s First Year, two mothers share their stories. They tell of a journey that began in fear-soaked, tear-stained days marked by an overwhelming fear of failure that eventually found redemption in discovering the freedom to ignore the wisdom of man and follow the direction of the Spirit.,This gentle path looks toward the example of God the Father, seeks after Christâ€™s unequivocal call to servanthood, and leans upon the wisdom of the Holy Spirit in determining and meeting the individual needs of each unique child.,Spirit-Led Parenting doesnâ€™t encourage a methodology, but rather a mindset. This outlook on parenting is radically different from what has become the trend in Christian circles, and yet the authors believe that it is firmly rooted in and supported by Scripture.,Throughout the book, the authors show how parenting with a spirit-led approach has allowed them to become more peaceful, happy mothers, more intimately connected to their husbands, and closer and more surrendered to Christ.,Sharing from their unique experiences as well as their shared philosophy, Megan and Laura play the role of big sisters, wrapping their arms around the shoulder of the new mother trying to navigate the confusing world of life with a baby and answering those important questions: â€œWhat if the â€˜rightâ€™ way doesnâ€™t feel â€˜rightâ€™?â€ and â€œCould there be more than one way to honor God as I care for my baby?â€,There is another way. Thatâ€™s what they wish they had been told as new mothers. And itâ€™s the message they are passionate about sharing with new parents everywhere.
