Full of Scripture, testimonies of faithful parents, and insightful meditations, Parenting First Aid equips moms and dads to run to God and trust his ability to do what they can’t. Parenting isn’t getting any easier, especially with the introduction of insta-porn on electronic devices, the ease of access to drugs, and the ever-increasing blurring of sexuality. This useful resource is for the weary and overwhelmed parents struggling with their children’s choices, and the culture that wars against their souls. For families with small struggles or weighty parenting trials—such as children involved with drugs, sexual sin, and teenage rebellion— Parenting First Aid is full of personal, real testimonies of God’s faithfulness to those experiencing hardship. The easy-to-use format provides encouragement to turn to God in the midst of family difficulty. While God does not promise happiness and ease in parenting, all can find comfort in God and peace beyond understanding through the Scriptures and meditations found in Parenting First Aid . Review: Provides Hope for Parents - If you are a parent or expecting to be one at any point, I highly recommend purchasing a copy of Marty Machowski's latest devotion book, Parenting First Aid: Hope for the Discouraged. Often Christian parents succumb to the temptation to compare themselves to other parents who seem to have it all together. These other parents appear loving, joyful, and patient and their children, it seems, are walking with Lord and rarely tend to struggle. What I appreciate about Parenting First Aid is that Machowski confesses in the Introduction that although he is a pastor, even he has received calls to pick up his son from the police station. Although my daughter is only two and I have yet to experience such parenting difficulties, I instantly felt that Machowski has created a foundation for parents to trust him as he has experienced difficult parenting moments and survived because of the hope he has in Christ. Machowski is faithful to point parents to the goodness of God as our Father and to the hope we ultimately have in Christ, whether our children are His or not. Using various passages of Scripture, some that speak directly to parenting and some that don't, Machowski reminds parents to parent in a way that is Godly. There are also plenty of real parenting moments included in each chapter which I appreciated. Knowing that an older, Godly individual has walked this path ahead of me and has become more like Christ, as a result, gives me much hope. Regardless of what parenting season you are in, Parenting First Aid is for you. This is the type of book that spouses can read individually or together. Each devotion is the perfect length and provides questions to think about at the end. With a two year old, I am still fairly new to parenting. I haven't read too many parenting books but I must say that Parenting First Aid is certainly one of my favorites. Review: A must for every Christian parent - Parenting is definitely the hardest responsibility I’ve ever been given…to realize that God has entrusted two precious lives into my hands to raise and “train in the way they should go” is very scary sometimes, but also amazing. My children are now 12 and 15 and the decisions that I make as a parent are much more difficult now than they were years ago…it used to be so cut and dry but now we are entering a stage of many gray areas. I knew I needed this book when I read the title. There are so many moments when I feel like I’m hanging on by a thread as a mom, screaming for a lifeline and feeling like every decision I make is wrong. This book is broken down into 20 chapters that are meant to be read each for 1 week. This provides a time of reflection and meditation on what is read. The book provides “reinforcements” for those of us parents who are deep in the trenches of this difficult battle. It provides hope and help with a lot of scripture and testimonies from other parents. I am beyond thankful that this book came into my life. It is an excellent resource and gave me hope. I highly recommend this book to all parents…those who are in a difficult situation and those who aren’t (yet). I received this book from the publisher to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,069,910 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,015 in Christian Family & Relationships #5,452 in Devotionals #11,309 in Christian Personal Growth | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 21 Reviews | ## Images ![Parenting First Aid: Hope for the Discouraged - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Bs-QXIpJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Provides Hope for Parents *by L***E on November 6, 2018* If you are a parent or expecting to be one at any point, I highly recommend purchasing a copy of Marty Machowski's latest devotion book, Parenting First Aid: Hope for the Discouraged.

Each section includes a scripture passage followed by a "Ponder Anew" section which includes discussion about the passage and how it specifically relates to one's role as a parent. The final portion of the devotional is named "Bring It Home" and includes questions that spur reflection as well as encourage application. This devotional is truly an encouragement for parents. While this complimentary book was provided for review by New Growth Press, no other compensation was given. All remarks are my personal and honest opinions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/235904378-parenting-first-aid-hope-for-the-discouraged](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/235904378-parenting-first-aid-hope-for-the-discouraged) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
