Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Parenting: From Surviving to Thriving
Charles R. Swindoll · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Wayne Shepherd
78/100
👍 Worth It
A strong, substantive pick — Swindoll draws on real scriptural depth to cover discipline, self-worth, and reconciling with a rebellious child, all in his known direct-but-hopeful style. It's an excellent fit for a faith-friendly shelf, and Wayne Shepherd's recognized Christian-radio voice should carry it well.
