Confidence in parenting? Is that a joke? Nobody has much confidence in that! But why not? When the author of this book, originally written as a gift to his grandchildren so they would not forget the "why" of how they had been parented, began teaching these concepts to young parents, and a few grandparents, the most common comment was "Why didn't I know this before?" There are plenty of books and studies on "Christian" parenting, but as one pastor reader expressed, "You must publish this. I've never seen anything like this in print before!" Then the first grandchildren to have a child said they were sharing it with their friends and also mentioned how helpful it would be in book and study form. Your servant, the author, is pleased that others might prosper from this information and will be strongly successful and confident Christian parents.Within the pages of God's revelation to mankind are so many "helps" and so much "encouragement" for the parent who follows God's design, they can't help but be successful.First, this plan has been tested by the author and his wife before being presented to you. Their discovery, it works very effectively.Second, God is in charge with this style of parenting. No guesswork about what we should do, just His magnificent leadership revealed.Third, the plan is laid out by easily understood sessions, by age, by special circumstances, and finally by God's blessing.Finally, you will be introduced to how to be the agent of God's blessing to your children, grandchildren, and to those in your sphere of influence.Be confident. Parenting is a joy, under the Lord's care!Included in the pages of this book is a complete teaching outline, with suggestions for the group leader for each session.

One fine day I was sincerely struggling to explain the term "solidarity" to my child, and it occurred to me to ask OpenAi's newest publicly available artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT how I may explain the concept to a 3-year old boy. The results opened my eyes and I started wondering how generative AI might help me in other aspects of parenting as well.What followed was months of shamelessly prompting ChatGPT at their visual art AI, Dall-E for questions ranging from the most basic things to building connections that I scarcely believed. So I put together some of the work I have been doing, and my hope is that is raises some questions for yourself as you consider how these powerful tools might add something to your toolbelt.What I hope to share with you in this book is two-fold.Six short chapters where I will try and demonstrate some of the moments that helped me as a father, and how I imagine these tools might help us even more as they develop and improve.I will share three blog posts I wrote while in the throes of early parenthood. These posts are titled "Story Time" for clarity and they appear every two chapters.The Contents of the Book:IntroductionStory Time #1: I didn't want to love anything this muchChapter 1: What in the hell does AI have to do with parenting?Chapter 2: Answering the "Why"sStory Time #2: Tips for a dad wearing his babyChapter 3: Building uniquely creative connectionsChapter 4: Using AI generated art to visualize ideas and have some funStory Time #3: The incredibly sad moment you realize you're a nobodyChapter 5: Helping you through some of the loneliest experiences as a parentChapter 6: A little healingConclusion

In "The Ten Dad Commandments, Fatherhood Through a Hip-Hop Lens", Esteban Serrano, a veteran Hip-Hop journalist and father of three, combines his love for rap with his passion for fatherhood. Esteban shows just how much the two have in common in this new book. It's not just about the music, it's also about the mindset, the attitude, and the spirit of Hip-Hop. The determination, resilience, and the ability to overcome obstacles that are often celebrated in rap music are also essential for fatherhood.Esteban has been leading the conversation about fatherhood in Hip Hop for years via his work and podcast RAP DADS. Many of those interviews as well as experiences with rappers and their children gleaned by Esteban throughout his career make their way in as jewels for the reader. This book, inspired by Notorious B.I.G's Ten Crack Commandments, was written for fathers at all stages and phases in their journey. This is as close to a "step by step booklet" as it gets.
