Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)ROMANCING YOUR CHILD'S HEART by Monte Swan is a tremendous book that combines solid advice for raising kids with fascinating stories from the life of a truly unique family. It is rare to find a book of this kind with such great insight, which has been gleaned from the Swan family's lifestyle - part little-house-on-the-prairie, part renaissance home. The pragmatic principles of spiritual child-rearing in RYCH are clearly illustrated by compelling tales of Monte's own upbringing, travels, and family building, all told with refreshing enthusiasm. (Actually, a lot of the adventures themselves are interesting enough even to be read to kids as bedtime stories.) Monte Swan, reflecting his background as a geologist with a keen scientific intellect and a remarkable ability to synthesize a variety of sources, weaves into his book the words and thoughts of a multitude of individuals, some famous great minds and others just successful parents. The material here is super practical, conveyed in a simple, direct way and never preachy. Monte simply allows the truth of his own relationships with God, family, and friends to serve the reader with a banquet of rich ideas and applications. My own three daughters are grown, but I have given them a copy of Monte's book to help them prepare for their own future families. I wish I had had this book in my hands 25 years ago. At least perhaps someday I'll be able to use it in romancing the hearts of my grandkids and developing in them a vision for the divine. In sum, I would highly recommend ROMANCING YOUR CHILD'S HEART for parents, grandparents, and parents-to-be who are serious about leading their children to Christ.

Parents can have awesome relationships with their children, but it is not enough to fill them with Bible facts, verses, and demand of them certain desired behaviors - you must first capture their hearts. When a child is young, parents can impose their will. When the child is older, however, if the parent hasn't won his heart, all the force in the world will only serve to drive him farther and farther away. How can parents win the hearts of their children? It all starts with romance - exactly as God woos us. Not just another parenting book, Monte Swan takes an entirely new approach to reaching the heart of a child . . . the way of romance. Desiring to lead their children to a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, parents will learn the very best approach to open the hearts of their children. Swan teaches parents how they can enter into the world of their children and give them not only what they long for, but what they need . . . an environment of total love and security from which they can conquer the challenges life has to offer. He demonstrates how any parent can turn the tables on the world and romance the hearts of their children to the love of God. With practical advice in real-life parenting situations, Swan equips parents first with the enthusiasm for the challenge ahead and then with concrete ways to win the heart of any child.
