No matter how good their intentions, all parents at times resort to quick-fix parenting: things we do to stop a kid's negative or annoying behavior. 
Quick-fix parenting may temporarily ease a parent's stress level, but it does little to positively impact a child's future. Quick-fix parenting is a terrible long-term strategy for parenting. 
Intentional parenting is the opposite of quick-fix parenting. Intentional parenting is a way to raise children to become healthy, independent young adults. It's based on solid principles which, applied over time, actually result in less-stressed parents and happier, better-adjusted, and more successful kids. Intentional parenting means you've got more than good intentions; you've got a plan. (And it's always better to have a plan for dealing with the stuff that inevitably crops up between parents and their kids than it is to wing it.)
In Intentional Parenting, Authors, Doug and Cathy Field, through videos and a book, draw on their own extended experience with young people and as parents to guide you through 10 specific actions that will help you become a more effective parent.

One quick Google search will lead one to discover that only 2% of deaf Americans are Christians. Knowing this, one would agree that sharing the love of Christ with the deaf population is of utmost importance. Please join us this semester to help break the communication barrier by learning basic, introductory American Sign Language. This class will provide practical instruction for one to learn how to communicate more effectively with the deaf population. Some basic instructions that will be covered include the ASL alphabet, basic vocabulary, greetings, and much more! Join us each Wednesday night as we create unification through communication!

Parents and grandparents will use this book by Randy Alcorn as an excellent resource to help kids explore biblical answers to their questions about Heaven in a language they can understand.
Intended for kids ages 8–12, this book features questions and answers based on Scripture.
The book addresses kids’ common questions about Heaven, like:
Can we be sure we’ll go to Heaven instead of hell?
How can we know what Heaven is like if we’ve never seen it?
Will we have real bodies in Heaven?
Will we actually see God?
What happens to us the second after we die?
The book also has a summary of the gospel for those who want to be sure they are going to Heaven someday. Equip your kids with answers to difficult questions and encourage them to live “in light of Heaven.”

Imagine walking the dusty roads of Galilee with Jesus of Nazareth—braving jostling crowds just to touch the edge of His cloak and hear Him say, “Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you.”  
Those words, once meant to comfort a hurting woman’s soul thousands of years ago, were also meant for you. 
Follow in the footsteps of the women who came face-to-face with the Living God. Examine the historical and cultural climate of first-century Middle Eastern society to not only understand Jesus more deeply but to fuel your worship of Him today.

Part 7—Revival or Captivity?: This dynamic four-week course from our Kings and Prophets Series will have a major impact on your walk with the Lord. We'll watch God raise up a Gentile threat (Assyria) to Israel as its kings continue the spiritual descent begun by Jeroboam - compromising with idols and refusing to repent at the warnings of prophets Elijah and Elisha.
Part 8—A Love that will Not Let Me Go (a study of Hosea): Hosea was the last prophet to the Northern Kingdom of Israel before they were taken captive to Assyria. He cried out to a nation caught up in harlotry, a nation which chose to abandon God and go after pagan idols. In Hosea you can learn how God deals with those who turn away from Him and about a love that will not let you go.
Part 9—Understanding the Anger of God: These were the last prophets to the Southern Kingdom of Judah before Judah was taken captive to Babylon. Each prophet cried out to a nation which needed to heed the Word of the Lord about judgment. Any nation, Assyria or Judah, which chose to worship idols rather than God, would be judged by God unless they turned to Him in repentance, but God would warn them first.

These three prophets will teach you how God deals with those who turn away from Him and how He gives a warning to turn to Him rather than perish.
