MOBILE, Ala., May 8, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- Being a parent is a courageous responsibility. One comedian observed that he received more instructions with his cell phone than he did with his newborn son. That's why every parent is searching for help with how to parent well. They don't want to mess it up. If only there was a "Quick Start" guide for the kids like the one you got with your cell phone.

That desire for a simple, yet helpful, guide is behind the new release from Evergreen Press. The ABCs of PARENTING by Steve Boctor is a book for the fast-paced life of today's parents. It's written in 26 short, easy-to-read chapters, each discussing an important aspect of successful parenting. There's one parenting principle for each letter of the alphabet, making it easy for parents to refer back and remind themselves of how it's supposed to work. The ABCs of PARENTING is the "Quick Start" guide that parents have been looking for.

Steve Boctor is the lead pastor of Huron Park Baptist Church in Woodstock, Ontario where he's been sharing these principles in monthly newspaper articles and on the radio for several years. He and his wife are also the parents of two children with whom they have tested these principles. Steve explains, "This book has been purposely written with short, easy-to-read and highly applicable chapters so that every parent who picks this up will actually find the time to get through the whole book." Each chapter includes a page titled "Make It Happen" that parents can use to assist them in applying these principles.

The ABCs of PARENTING is available just in time for Mother's Day and Father's Day. It's a book they'll refer to over and over again. While so much debate is going on today about what's needed to improve our culture, no one doubts the role of the family. It's at the top of everyone's list. So enabling parents to fulfill their task with joy and fruitfulness is a welcome addition to that debate. Parents just need something as simple to follow as ABC.
