An ACBC counselor, John Lehman was born in Indiana, but spent fifteen of his first eighteen years of life in Taiwan. As an MK (missionary kid), part of his upbringing was spent in dormitory settings away from his parents. Though minimal time was spent with them during his upbringing, he was reminded about the importance of godly parenting. Early in his life he felt called of God to help people, so that's what he's been doing throughout his ministry years. He trusts this book will be that help to prospective and present parents. His children asked him to write a book for their use, and this is the result of that request.
