New moms and dads always have the same reaction: "I had no idea it would be this hard!"

But you can make it a little easier, and a lot more rewarding, simply by following The 10 Commandments of Parenting. In words that are clear, simple, and sometimes humorous, Ed Young draws from decades of counseling and raising his own children to help you create a biblical foundation for life's greatest challenge and most important calling.

The 10 Commandments of Parenting includes:

1. Thou Shalt Build a Functional Family

2. Thou Shalt Love Thy Children

3. Thou Shalt Model Godliness

4. Thou Shalt Teach Thy Children

5. Thou Shalt Spend Time With Thy Children

6. Thou Shalt Discipline Thy Children

7. Thou Shalt Encourage Thy Children

8. Thou Shalt Provide Stability and Security for Thy Children

9. Thou Shalt Have the Sex Talk With Thy Children

10. Thou Shalt Not Be a Passive Parent
