Parenting can seem a daunting task. Yet this book provides proven advice from a wise father who has done it, both through the thick and thin and ups and downs of life. This book gives practical, everyday ways to guide your children and support them toward faith, love, and maturity, whatever age they may be. This book is chock-full of “parenting vitamins.” I recommend that you take and read one every day! ~ David M. Gustafson, PhD Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
Lynn takes all of the inevitable misfortunes and successes of his daily life and combines them with his deep personal faith in order to create a superbly fl owing message on parenting. His compassionate story is warm, glowing, convicting, humorous, and at certain points…to be taken seriously. For those of us who have struggled and are still struggling deeply with parenting, this is a tearful, joyous, and educational read. The tears I shed reading this book are truly healing waters. Thanks, Lynn. ~ Joe Burtons Retired Educator and Administrator www.adobecreekimages.com
Lynn, in his book Parenting for a Lifetime, has put on paper points of light that are spot-on. As with all his books, his advice is helpful, useful, and timely. His admonishments are from others’ and his own life experiences. I highly recommend it. ~ Doug Radunzel Recruiter, International School Project
Parenting through divorce, bankruptcy, and cancer, Lynn Blackwood has taken a path that most parents would shudder just to think of, and he did most of it as a single father of three children. Parenting for a Lifetime distills those years of experience into a guide that allows the reader an inside peek into the real work of parenting, of not giving up when things get rough or you’re not sure what to do, of pushing through one trial after another to finish the job of being a great parent—not a perfect parent, but a great parent. You’ll never be a perfect parent, and the work of parenting is never done, even when your precious little children grow into adults. Lynn will encourage you to take a long range view of your role as a parent and keep the goal in mind, because it’s not really about you, it’s about raising responsible grown-ups who will make great parents themselves. Parenting for a Lifetime is an easy read and a must-read for parents at any stage. It’s a book that you will want to pass along to other parents so you can share the positive message between its pages. Lynn Blackwood is the author of two previous books: C if You Agree and Divorced…Now What? He is also the father of three: a son who will soon enter medical school, a daughter who is a former Miss New Mexico USA, and a daughter who has just started college.

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
