Following the wildly popular Vertical Marriage with the same charming, relatable dialogue between mom and dad, bestselling authors and national hosts of FamilyLife Today Dave and Ann Wilson dive headlong into the monumental task of parenting in the 21st century.

Raising kids with hearts for Christ may be the hardest thing you ever try to do, but it's also the most important thing. Packed with funny and honest stories, compelling illustrations, biblical insight, and practical steps you can put into practice today, this hands-on parenting manual will encourage and equip every parent through any stage.

Founders of a multi-campus church and family coaches with 30 years of experience, Dave and Ann share the hard-earned but easy-to-apply principles that ensure a strong parent-to-child relationship and a strong foundation for your child. You'll get a front-row seat to the multidimensional nature of parenting through a conversational back and forth between Mom and Dad and even comments from their adult sons on what worked, what didn't work, and why. An inspiring and resourceful guide, No Perfect Parents will cover essential topics like learning to discipline without losing your mind or causing more chaos, the parenting guilt trip, the teen years, and the top five parenting mistakes.

For parents and couples preparing to have children, Dave and Ann offer hope and strategies that really work, and some that didn't. No Perfect Parents will let you into the real, even raw, struggles and joys of raising kids that can impact their generation in a powerful way.

To get the legacy that you've been praying for, start here. Your kids will thank you later.

Helpful reminder

This book reminds us that the parents (even though we shouldn’t be comparing ourselves to them) that we look up to; make mistakes just like the red of us. We will make mistakes but we simply continue to be the best parents that God wants us to be.

giving hope

a personal touch,experience in a marriage and raising children through teens that hits the core of the heart and the mistakes we make and lessons to learn and correct for the legacy of Faith, Family, Friendship in passing on to the generation of children we raise for them to pass on to their children.

Good story, good principles, well-read

I enjoyed listening to this book. It’s a lot of stories of them raising their kids with a few really good principles mixed in.
My favorite part? The authors are the ones reading their stories to you.
What I didn’t like? Occasionally the stories provided too much detail in weird parts. Also - I was hoping for more practical tips & principles and less story.
Overall - it was a good book and I’d recommend it.

Wisdom for parents of all ages

No Perfect Parents is filled with some of the joys and sorrows of parenting and so much wisdom. Dave and Ann are humble and brave as they share many of their personal parenting failures. You can feel their heart as they read this audio book. I felt like I was sitting in their living room with them. Wonderful Book.

Thank you!

This book was just what I needed in this stage of my life with my children approaching the teen years… I wish I would’ve listen to it when they were five!
