Parent with purpose. Build a home that points the next generation to Jesus.
Every family experiences joy and disappointment, victories and mistakes. The goal of parenting isn’t to raise perfect children—it’s to faithfully point them to Jesus while building a home they’ll want to return to for the rest of their lives.
In Not Your Average Parents, Mickey and Bonnie Eckles share biblical wisdom and practical lessons drawn from more than thirty years of marriage, ministry, and parenting. Along the way, honest reflections from their now-adult son and daughter offer a unique perspective on the choices, values, and moments that mattered most.
Through these pages, you’ll discover how to:
Build your home on God’s Word
Strengthen your marriage and family relationships
Create meaningful rhythms that keep your family connected
Lead with grace, truth, and consistency
Surround your children with trusted voices
Trust God with the results
Whether you’re married, single, fostering, adopting, or navigating a blended family, these practical principles will encourage and equip you to parent with purpose, build lasting faith, and create a home centered on Jesus.
