In the Beginning: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Building Confidence in the Early Years aims to provide Christian parents with faith-based encouragement and guidance for raising healthy, well-adjusted, authentically confident children. Author John Kaites draws inspiration from the Bible, scientific studies, expert sources and his own family life to promote an attitude toward child-rearing that is engaged, loving and enlightened. Organized into a handy year-by-year guide for ages 0 to 7, each chapter opens with a quote from the Bible, incorporates biblical lessons and concludes with a prayer. The book’s overarching premise is that repetitive patterns formed during this all-important foundational period can significantly influence how we approach the world as adults, contributing to how we think through situations, solve problems and, ultimately, succeed. These patterns affect our ability to be resilient, resourceful and effective in our lives and can inform who we become, how happy we are and how confident we feel. By better understanding these crucial building blocks, we can discover how to parent in a way that sets our children up for success.

Fear Not: Two Weeks of Living Boldly into God’s Authentic Confidence is audacious enough to dare you to live fearlessly — to rest completely in God’s love and to let that perfect love drive out your fears. Written in a devotional format and designed to transform the reader, the 14 chapters are structured around a two-week timeline dedicated to thinking about fearlessness. Week 1 investigates the foundation of a fearless life: What instructions does the Bible give us, and how do they combine to form the elements of fearlessness? Week 2 examines the tools in a fearless Christian’s toolbox: What does it look like to live out our God-given fearlessness? How does God equip us to do so faithfully? The two weeks combine to illustrate a picture of the fearless Christian life, and to show you that you can live fearlessly and boldly, rooted in the love of God.
Personable, knowledgeable and passionate about his faith, John thrives in leading communities in prayer and exploring topics related to the Bible, pursuing a Christian life and parenting.
