Full Circle Parenting

A Guide for Crucial Conversations

By: Jimmy Scroggins, Kristin Scroggins

Narrated by: Jesse Abeel

Parenting isn’t for wimps. It's not just the routines, schedules, discipline, and heartaches - it's the hard conversations. One of the greatest challenges of parenting is navigating the crucial conversations that we must have with our kids.

Jimmy and Kristin Scroggins have been married for more than 25 years and have eight children. Jimmy pastors a church in South Florida. They’ve had plenty of crucial conversations in their lives - not only with their own children, but with parents who are scared and seeking wisdom. They know they have to find a way to have those tough conversations from a biblical perspective and a distinctly Christian worldview, but they don’t know how.

If you’re like these parents, Full Circle Parenting was written for you. Using the Three Circles gospel tool (God’s design; brokenness; gospel), Jimmy and Kristin will give you a “conversation map” to work through any tough conversations you have with your children, and will show you how it works with the following topics and more: gender, sexuality, and marriage, technology, alcohol and substance abuse, bitterness, forgiveness, and restoration, friendship, and mean kids.

Great book! Wish the Authors narrated though.

I attended a seminar by the Scroggins, and really enjoyed listening to them speak. I feel like the narrator of this version is fluid with his speech, but a little robotic.

Biblical or worldly convictions

Awesome representation of a biblical approach to raising children in real time life even into the future.

A treasure of wisdom!

This is quite possibly the best parenting book that I have come across. I love that it’s real and honest. And it’s not a checklist of what to do, but guidance on a way to go about doing it. I also love, the real conversational pieces that are added to the end of each chapter. They really help you think through your conversations with your kids, and make them your own. Highly recommend this!

Authentic, Practical, Challenging, Encouraging

This book is an excellent tool for learning to navigate crucial conversations. I took a bunch of notes. The authors were biblical, practical and personal in each chapter. They struck a great balance between challenging the parent and encouraging them. The audiobook reader did a fantastic job as well. Will definitely recommend this resource.
