Practical reflections on Christian parenting

John and Cindy Raquet draw on their experience raising eight children to consider the work of parenting through a Christian lens. Personal accounts of successes and setbacks sit alongside practical tips and reflections on setting—and revising—goals. The book frames parenting as both a blessing and a demanding responsibility, with its title’s “blue-tape boundaries” pointing to a hands-on approach to everyday family life. Its emphasis is on lessons gathered through lived experience rather than a promise of a universal instruction manual.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents interested in Christian perspectives on raising children
  • Readers who value practical suggestions alongside personal parenting experiences

Book overview

Sometimes in our childhood, we fantasize about our future parenting skills and how we will be the ultimate mom or dad. These grand visions rarely survive the first few months of our own journey as parents-once that specter of self-will first manifests in our new bundle of joy. We quickly learn that while parenting is infinitely rewarding and a wonderful blessing, it is also a difficult, sometimes confusing, often thankless responsibility. We find ourselves wishing for a clear, simple, and preferably, illustrated instruction manual.
In Purposeful and Persistent Parenting, John and Cindy Raquet seek to share, through encouraging examples of their journey toward God-honoring parenthood, the lessons they learned in raising their eight children. With personal stories of triumph and failure, goal-setting (and resetting), many practical tips, and a little blue tape, they hope that this work will be a valuable companion on your own adventure in parenting and instrumental in helping you to truly enjoy the work of raising your children.
