Fists to Swords: How to resolve Difficult Family Problems

Parents serve as the example God placed in families to protect, care for, teach, guide, and provide for their loved ones. After God, it is the responsibility of parents to nurture the emotions and hearts of their children without causing harm. The Psalmist beautifully symbolizes children as arrows, noting in Psalms 127:4 that 'The children born to a young man are like arrows in the hands of a warrior.' Children are seen as one of God's most treasured gifts to parents, just as parents are gifts to their children. God has provided rules and commandments to serve as a guide for parents in teaching their children about faith, hope, and love.


This book is specifically tailored for parents who aspire to build a friendship with their children and wish to understand their thoughts and feelings, especially when they exhibit rejection or seek comfort. It is aimed at those who wish to discipline their children in a constructive way, allowing children to grasp the reasons behind moral, spiritual, personal, and family corrections. To address mistakes, parents need to step out of their comfort zones and explore solutions or alternatives to the challenges they encounter. Every parent was once a child, and it's essential to recognize that children’s mindsets evolve over time. Ultimately, the hope and responsibility of every parent is for their children to grow up loving God wholeheartedly, free from doubts and prejudices, with a grateful heart for the blessings in their lives.
