The Foundational Years - Raising Your Child from Birth to 7 in the Presence of God
Nobody warned me that you cannot parent without God.
I thought love would be enough. I thought instinct would kick in. Nobody warned me about 4am in a hospital corridor in Johannesburg, watching an ambulance carry my 18-month-old son away from a general hospital that had spent five days unable to break his fever. No diagnosis. No answers. Specialists shaking their heads. And then - prayer. And then - a miracle. The doctors called it exactly that. We knew Who it was.
That moment did not just save my son's life. It changed everything I understood about parenting.
This book is what I wish someone had placed in my hands in those early years. Not a checklist. Not a manual. A companion - written by a father who loved this road, struggled through it, and found God faithful in every season of it.
From the first breath of a newborn to the first day of Grade 1, The Foundational Years walks with you through every stage of the most important seven years you will ever spend. Each chapter covers a specific season of your child's development - the sleepless newborn months, the fire of the toddler years, the questions that stop you in the car, the friendships and fears of the school years - with warmth, humor, practical wisdom, and faith woven into every page.
You will find honest conversations about sleep, discipline, identity, fear, marriage under pressure, screen time, and what it actually means to raise a child for God's Kingdom rather than simply for a comfortable life. You will find Scripture placed where it lands hardest. You will find prayers written for the moments when your own words run out. And you will find, throughout, the conviction that raising a child is not a burden to manage - it is a sacred privilege, and one of the most significant things a human being can do with their years on this earth.
This is Volume 1 of the Christian Living series by AR Fourie - Jesus2Purpose.
You are not the author of your child's story. You are the steward of it. The Author already knows every page. Let's begin.
