You can be the parent God wants you to be: loving, encouraging, trusting and able to raise up your children in the way they should go, fulfilling their own unique destinies. Parenting was not intended to be a burden, and anyone who tells you differently has bought into a lie. You will learn to enjoy parenting as an exciting, joy-filled, divinely-ordained opportunity, not a wearying responsibility.

Let God's Grace Flow Through You to Your Children!

"God has a vast reservoir of grace that He wants to pour into your life, your home, and your family. And He has provided lots of ways by which that grace can be channeled through you and into the lives of your children. Unfortunately, these rivers of God's grace can become littered with the debris of our own sinful thoughts and actions, as well as the ungodly actions of our ancestors, creating dams that prevent His grace from flowing the way He desires."

What Makes This Parenting Package So Unique?

Details of Each Item Included in the "Rivers of Grace MP3 Download Package"

Rivers of Grace eBook

In Rivers of Grace you will discover how to release the power and wisdom of God into your children's lives; how to remove generational sins and curses; how to teach them to have a heart after God. You will look at your own relationship to your parents to be sure you are honoring them as you should. You will learn what it means to honor your children, for the Bible says we are to honor ALL people and this includes children. You will learn to watch your mouth, and speak only life over your children. You will not speak negative words which hurt and crush their spirits. You will learn to focus on their God-given strengths, rather than their weaknesses, for it is the strengths which God has placed within them which allow them to ascend to success.

You will learn that your number one ministry during the years you are raising your children is to minister God's life to your children! So you will make them your number one priority without feeling guilty about it. You will learn why it is vital to teach them to hear God's voice for themselves, and how to make wise spiritual decisions by using God's approach to decision making. 

Once you read this, I believe you will agree that it should be required reading for all parents, and it will serve as a tool helping them succeed in the most important ministry God has given to them, raising their children up in the Lord! Purchase this and pass it out as birthday and Christmas gifts to all who are raising children and "Congratulations!" gifts to new parents. They will love and thank you from the bottom of their hearts!

Rivers of Grace MP3s

These are ideal for repetition and review as you drive, work or exercise. Hearing Patti teach this series releases an impartation, revelation and spiritual understanding which, if internalized, will completely transform your life. Patti shares from her own story of raising two children. Every time you review this series the Holy Spirit reveals more to you. Do yourself a favor and listen to them over and over until the revelation is complete. Rushing on to another topic without internalizing this truth does not result in cultivating Christian spirituality.

LEARN Rivers of Grace eNotebook

This 20-page Life Enrichment And Review Notebook is designed to go along with the audio or video series and/or PowerPoint presentation. If receiving training in a group, we highly recommend that EVERY member of the group have their own copy. It offers you the following four benefits:

Deepened Learning Through Note-Taking

The opportunity to take notes deepens the learning experience. When you write something with your own hand, it is a much stronger learning experience than simply hearing it. God puts a BIG emphasis on writing as a way of learning. Look at His very first requirement of anyone who became a king in Israel:

“Also it shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book, from the one before the priests, the Levites. And it shall be with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear the LORD his God and be careful to observe all the words of this law and these statutes, that his heart may not be lifted above his brethren, that he may not turn aside from the commandment to the right hand or to the left, and that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children in the midst of Israel” (Deut. 17:18-20).

Greater Internalization Through Previewing and Reviewing the Key Ideas

The seminar guide/notebook also gives you an opportunity to easily preview and review the teaching. None of us catches everything the first time through and as you review it several times, you will pick up things you did not hear before. More truths will begin to "click" and more lights come on!

This process of repeated review results in greater revelation and greater personal transformation. Jesus urged us to cultivate and give attention to new ideas being sown in our hearts until they bear a crop of 30, 60 or 100 fold (Matt. 13:18-23). So listen, review and focus until God has granted you personal revelation and transformation! Anything short of this causes the seed to be aborted and die. Hearing without doing is a waste, the Bible says (James 2:17).

Application Exercises Allow God to Speak Directly to Your Heart

Application exercises are included in the seminar guide/notebook for class times and for increasing personal revelation at home. Hearing a truth is one thing. Letting God speak to you concerning how to apply it in your life is another. These application exercises will give you the opportunity to seek God and ask Him what He wants to say to you concerning the truth, and how He wants to see it applied in your life. This is exactly what you need to hear and act upon. This is spiritual growth and development. Please review our short article on "How to Cultivate Christian Spirituality."

Interactive Group Activities Cultivate Sharing of Revelations Together

Suggestions for group activities which promote seeking God together and a lively interaction where people are encouraged to share the revelation they are receiving are also included. This helps avoid lecture which can easily become boring. The activities are well designed so people are not just "spouting off" and sharing ignorance but instead are sharing together what God is revealing to them.

Testimonies From Those Who Have Read Rivers of Grace

"I’ve recommended Rivers of Grace to every parent I know, as it is the BEST book on discipling children that I’ve ever read. Thank you!"

---

"I find such freedom in your book.  I wish that I had had more of this type of training when my children were younger. I must tell you that a lot of the child rearing out there, even though it claims to be Spirit-led, is simply sophisticated ways of manipulating behavior. We need more things like what you’ve written here! God bless you."

-- Pam Miller

---

"After only reading the first two chapters I know my life is being changed. Your book has been the first step God is using. I wanted to let you know right away, that your book is inspiring me. Thank you so much."

-- Jennifer Kamla

---

"The book was written in such a simple, clear way that any of us could understand the principles and put them into practice.

"Although I am a grandmother and am past raising children I found this book to be an excellent example of a woman who went against the 'normal' stream of society, and did what she felt the Lord wanted her to do for her children. She teaches and encourages through God’s Word and His principles, how to be the Mom (parents) we were called to be. I consider this to be an excellent book for all parents as well as educators."

-- Margaret Fraser

What an awe-inspiring, uplifting and encouraging word of God:  Not only the need to raise up children to love, serve and follow God’s leading, but how to accomplish this seemingly impossible task. Has God called you to homeschool your children? Here are words of wisdom, guidance, and understanding to help parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and close friends to understand and support the principles of homeschooling based on God’s word. Read how to(s) for praying and encouraging yourself, your family and your children to live by the Spirit rather than by the law.   

 This is a book to be read by all Christians who are called to minister and serve in God’s Kingdom, for are we not all children in God’s eyes? Are we not called to be spiritual parents, brothers and sisters? We must all come to God with a child’s faith and grow into His love and grace as a child. What wonderful, easy-to-follow principles that can be applied to our own lives and to all of God’s children, regardless of age or parentage.  

-- Alice Mickelson

"It is definitely a book that I would recommend people read, whether single, married, with children or expecting a child. If someone hasn’t heard about the topics discussed in your book, they need to! The book helped to dispel some beliefs I had previously held, and caused me to go to God and ask Him what He thought about those things, which I think the book communicated really well (not a bunch of rules, but relationship!). I thoroughly enjoyed it!"

-- Denise Dunleavey

I have been a public school teacher for many years and have also worked with many church youth programs. In Rivers of Grace, I recognized many principles that will aid in seeing and hearing the voice of God myself and working with youth of all ages to hear God’s voice.

Patti has truly shared God’s word. She shows how each of us is able to move from the rules and law as described in Scripture to God’s grace. It is this grace that really far exceeds the rules and laws we so often rebel against. Patti’s emphasis is on raising children for the Lord and homeschooling. But are we not all children that must learn the same lessons?

I believe that God is busy homeschooling His children every day, teaching and guiding us to listen to His voice and learning to abide in Him. We are all in the process of learning and teaching. May we all continue to have a child-like faith that believes that all is possible, and know that God is indeed the Answer.
