This book is very different from other parenting books in that I took the most salient issues every parent deals with and I addressed them head on with a no nonsense approach. With issues ranging from what parents post on Facebook to lack of libido in parents to children dressing in sexy clothes I offer information, tools, and straight up instructions on how to overcome some of the biggest obstacles parents face today. Some chapters can even save a child's life.

"Inside Out Parenting is a must read for parents. It is full of simple and practical advice that is applicable to parents of all ages and in all life situations. The book teaches easy to implement principles that are sure to improve any parent-child relationship. The book is both informative and entertaining as Service shares parenting truths, intermixed with real life examples from his own family and from other families he has encountered during his training and in life. These captivating experiences help drive home the practical truths he teaches throughout the book. There is something for everyone in this book, from the soon to be parent, to the great grandparent. The book is fresh, relevant, and modern, addressing parenting issues that didn’t even exist 10 years ago, such as Facebook and sexting. He is not afraid to say what needs to be said."

"Anson,Erin Iverson, mother of 5
This is a great book! I discovered something in every chapter that was applicable to my life with 5 kids. Being a parent, or a child, can be difficult even in the best circumstances, but our children face many difficult situations and I loved your down-to earth advice. It is so straightforward and uses examples that are useful to every day parents that want themselves & their children to be successful in life. Although I have never been divorced, I could even relate to your chapter of blending families - it is good guidance for adoption in families, too. I will definitely read this book again!"

The Littlest Acorn is an inspired story that applies directly to the lives of children and adults alike. Within each of us rests the limitless potential for miraculous growth and accomplishment, the like of which we cannot imagine. It is especially difficult to contemplate our immense potential during those times when we might feel insignificant, powerless, and hopeless.
We may find ourselves discouraged, suffering from unnecessary stress and depression because of various circumstances in our lives, much like Ashton, the littlest acorn who could not imagine being the mightiest tree because of the circumstances he found himself in. Like some of us, Ashton had setbacks from the start. His shell was cracked and he had friends that were poisonous to his future. If Mother Oak didn’t intervene to talk some sense into Ashton he may have been left to wander in his own lack of ambition, falling short of his true design and potential for the rest of his life.
Ashton’s friend, Mopey, projected a contagious lack of ambition and vision that was toxic to Ashton. Mopey’s pessimism did nothing but try to discourage others from succeeding so he wouldn’t feel so bad about his own circumstances and belief system. When others did succeed around him he attempted to belittle them in an effort to justify his own lack of happiness and success.
Like us, Ashton is no stranger to challenges, pain, injury, and loneliness. Because Ashton persevered for many years, focusing on his potential and strengths, remaining connected to his inner mighty oak, he finds one day, just when he was feeling his lowest, that he not only became that mighty oak he once dreamed of being, but that he had much to be grateful for as well. He had indeed become a wise and mighty oak and came to a realization in the end. Even better, he was still young enough to use his wisdom for many decades to come in helping and serving others.
May your journey be like Ashton’s as you stay connected to your inner mighty oak, handle your challenges, pains, injuries, and times of loneliness with perspective and gratitude. For these experiences do indeed make us mighty when used as stepping stones rather than stumbling blocks. May your eternal youth and wisdom leave you many decades of opportunities to serve and grow.
