Reviews for Raising an Original: Parenting Each Child According to their Unique God-Given Temperament
What I loved about Raising an Original is that is wasn't writ- ten by an ivory-tower member of academia, it was written by a mom. And not just any mom, a mom of eight. Wisdom flows effortlessly from every page from a woman that has walked in the steps of her Savior with her children and had the brilliance to stop and write down all that she has learned. In a time when we fear that our kids are going to end up looking like all their secular peers at school, Raising an Original is a God-breathed love letter to your family.

Julie's message of your unique calling to raise your one-of-a- kind child is one every parent needs to hear. Y ou will finish it feeling confident and purposeful and up for the task.

In the age of political correctness there is supreme importance placed on normality. For parents, there is a very real temptation to produce cookie-cutter kids who don't stand out and do not stand up for truth. Raising an Original highlights a critical point, that your child is a unique image-bearer of the Almighty, and it is this originality that should be celebrated and nurtured. If you want to raise children that desire to glorify God by unabashedly reflecting his distinctiveness, buy this book.
