How? • By surrendering to the demands of time and personal convenience. • By capitulating to the strategy of whine and pester, pout and tantrum. • By giving in because it's easier These statements are part of the fabric Dr. David Miller weaves as he explores the question of Parent POWER. It is the question of godly, loving authority . . . the authority our heavenly Father expects of earthly parents to whom He has given the responsibility of parenthood. How's your power supply? Dr. David Miller is a professor of psychology at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and the father of three children.

For my life became the darkness of abuse, neglect, the total removal of all that was light in my life; the end only coming as the strength and beauty of the light returned, removing the darkness that engulfed the hours before the dawn.
