Raising Everyday Heroes

Raising Everyday Heroes

When I was a new Baha'i, I heard William Sears say that "one soul could illumine a continent." When I told people I wanted to strive to be that kind of soul, they thought I was crazy. The author of this book wouldn't have. As Baha'i parents, our goal is not just to raise good children, we are raising the spiritual giants of the future.

This book can help.

Full of ideas of ways to help your child resist the pull of the mediocre, the easy, and the lazy, it will help you help your child think, make the right choices, and dedicate their lives and talents to something bigger than themselves.

Dr. Elisa Medhus makes the argument that in today's world, children can live without having to make a single difficult choice. Like cattle, they follow the rump of the person in front of them, do what they are told, then plop themselves down in front of a game or TV where they don't have to think about anything until the next round of orders. Our children deserve better than that. We can give them better than that. Start here.
