Educator Brian Givens Publishes Parenting Guide Built Around Four Biblical Principles

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

With nearly two decades of experience in education—as a teacher, coach, and principal—Brian Givens brings firsthand knowledge to his new parenting book, has published a new book aimed at Christian parents, "Following Christ in the Chaos: 4 Biblical Principles for Parents," through Christian Faith Publishing.

At the heart of the work are four foundational principles abbreviated as TILT: Train with Trust, Imitate our King, Lead with Love, and Teach with Grace According to the publisher’s description, the book argues that raising children spiritually requires more than parenting techniques or quick fixes, and instead frames the work as a call for parents to deepen their own relationship with God first. Each of the four principles gets its own chapters addressing both personal spiritual practice and day-to-day parenting decisions, covering topics including how to read Scripture in context, how to approach prayer, how to handle discipline, and how to manage parental anxiety.

Structurally, the book includes what the publisher describes as "training mode" sections at the end of each chapter, pairing referenced Bible verses with reflection questions and a prayer response, plus an appendix of additional spiritual formation resources.

Givens draws on his own background for the book’s perspective: he’s married to Jana and is the father of two sons, Owen and Mitchell, and describes his years in school leadership as giving him a vantage point on how Christian families are navigating what the book characterizes as an increasingly overstimulating culture. "Your intimacy with God can impact not only your children but also generations of Christ followers to come," Givens said in a statement accompanying the release, adding that he wants the book to "awaken Christian moms and dads to pursue his presence personally."

The book is available through major booksellers and online retailers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether Givens’s dual background in education and parenting gives this entry more staying power than the steady stream of faith-based parenting guides competing for the same readers.
