Insights Every Parent Hoping to Raise Christ-Minded Kids Needs to Know
Las Vegas, Nevada, May 11, 2022
Thirty years ago, Andy McQuitty started writing down parental words of wisdom in five separate journals—one for each of his five children. He ruminated on topics such as relationships, faith, discipline, work ethic and even politics as he mentally worked his way through universal challenges and concerns that all parents face.
Today, these journals have been adapted and compiled into a singular narrative that aims to serve as a devotional guide for parents hoping to raise Christian-minded children in today’s complex world.
“It was written as a very personal love letter/journal from a father to his children, with their best life walking with Christ later in mind”, McQuitty said in a recent interview.
Our Best Life Later highlights practical methods that every parent intent on raising serious Christ-followers needs to know. According to McQuitty, readers will open the pages of this journal and enhance their spiritual maturity in walking with God through daily Bible study and prayer that refreshes the soul, and keeps an individual’s life anchored and stayed on Jesus, so they will bear fruitfulness and ensure their best life later.
“This is what these devotional journal entries are all about,” McQuitty added. “If there was ever a time to watch daily at God’s Doors, it is now, as we watch the world around us engulfed in fear change right in front of our own very eyes.”
