About

The greatest lesson we teach our kids isn't anything we say--it's what we do.

Many parents are surprised to discover just how little we're actually modeling the behaviors we hope to pass on--qualities such as unconditional love, gentleness, forgiveness, patience, gratitude, humility, and more. This unique book offers a fresh way to look at molding your children: by focusing more on adding good behaviors than on eliminating bad ones.

Grounding her advice in Scripture, Sami Cone shares stories from her own life to show these principles in action. And she outlines practical things you can do right now to create a home and family that exhibits love, harmony, and generosity of spirit in a self-centered world.

"Sami Cone ​shows us how to shepherd the hearts of our children with biblical wisdom and contemporary courage. Get ready to experience more of Jesus in your everyday life and lead your kids closer to the heart of God."--Renee Swope, bestselling author of A Confident Heart and cohost of Everyday Life with Lysa & Renee on Proverbs 31 Ministries Radio

"Raising kids who love God and love others is the greatest blessing you can receive as a parent. But that blessing comes as a result of a lot of hard work and discipline to model the virtues and character traits of Christ in your home. Remember, more is caught than taught by our kids! In Raising Uncommon Kids, Sami unpacks the twelve godly characteristics that will challenge and inspire you to walk closer with Jesus so you can raise kids who will change the world for Christ in their generation."

Tom and Donna Mullins, founders of Christ Fellowship and Place of Hope

"I love Sami, and not just because she can light up a room when she enters but because she can make me laugh like nobody's business. Not only is she an amazing woman of God, but she is also an intentional wife and mother. Her book Raising Uncommon Kids is refreshing, inspiring, and honest. She shoots straight from the heart. I am excited to see how her book empowers moms to find the joy in finishing well with one of the most important titles we could ever have: mother."

Shelene Bryan, author of Love, Skip, Jump and founder of Skip1.org

"Sami and her family have been great friends of ours, and I am so happy she has shared her life lessons! My husband and I have asked Sami and Rick on many occasions how they have raised such respectful and kind children. The answers were truthful, powerful, and Christ-centered. I cannot wait for the rest of the world to hear these ideas as well! Thank you, Sami, for helping all of us raise 'uncommon kids'!"
