Parenting



Parenting in the 21st century presents timeless challenges and also the unprecedented influence of outside forces. Our children are faced with a multitude of influencers—media, internet, peers, and others who don’t offer the messages that we want them to hear. How do we raise children in this environment? H.I.M. offers a wide range of programs and products to equip you to raise your children to honor God, their families, and their communities.

Family Camp

H.I.M. Family Camp is a special time for your family to connect with each other, other families, and God in a picture-perfect New Hampshire Lake setting. For a week, we gather at Camp Berea in Hebron, NH, on Newfound Lake for structured programs and family fun at the Camp.

Book: Letters to My Daughters

In this heartwarming and funny book, a dad shares his heart and wisdom with his three daughters regarding a life-changing decision: marriage. Through 52 personal letters to Kari, Lisa, and Julie, Paul Friesen pens his insights on the importance of convictions, character, considerations, and chemistry as they relate to relationships.

True Love Waits—Family Edition

As effective as the “True Love Waits” movement has been for individuals, without family support the staying power of the commitment to sexual purity is greatly reduced. With this fact in mind, “True Love Waits—Family Edition” was created. The day-long seminar is designed to help parents and teens work together to accomplish the shared goal of sexual purity.

Book: So You Want to Marry My Daughter?

If you’re a dad and want to know what kind of man you should be praying for for your daughter—whether she’s two or twenty-two—consider the ten questions presented here. They draw a picture of a man who knows and loves God and who seeks to honor Him by serving his prospective wife and loving her “as Christ loved the church.” With wit and humor, Dr. Friesen shows the reader not only how to identify such a suitor, but how to be such a man.

Book: Raising a Trailblazer

“How to get from here to there” is a question which surfaces time and time again during the journey of life. Whether it be in the arena of finances (from instability to security), maturity (from childishness to wisdom), or contentment (from grumbling to gratitude), we are challenged all along the way to make positive passages and transitions.
