NASHVILLE,  June 6, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- From Stephen and Alex Kendrick -- the writers/producer/director of FIREPROOF and the author's of the No. 1 New York Times best-selling book it inspired, The Love Dare -- comes a life-changing tool for building strong, godly families -- The Love Dare for Parents.

"The Love Dare for Parents offers a 40-day journey of daily 'dares' that challenge parents to know what Christ-like love looks like and to share it with their children," Stephen Kendrick said.

Available for preorder now with deliveries beginning July 1, The Love Dare for Parents also includes free access to an online parenting evaluation tool to make the book even more impactful.

"We know that family life is busy," Alex Kendrick said. "We purposefully made The Love Dare for Parents easy and enjoyable to read with biblical principles you can apply to your parenting from Day One."

Each of the 40 days of The Love Dare for Parents begins with an encouraging promise from scripture then draws a biblical principle from it. Parents receive daily challenges to put the principles to work in the lives of their children. And, there is room for readers to make the book their own, with space to journal reflections about the material and about personal experiences, putting it into action. The Love Dare for Parents is helpful and encouraging to parents and children of all ages -- whether a new parent looking to win the heart of their young child or an older parent hoping to win a heart back.

Alex and Stephen Kendrick, founders of Kendrick Brothers Productions, are the creative team behind some of the most popular faith-based films of recent times including FACING THE GIANTS, FIREPROOF and COURAGEOUS. And they are international best-selling authors of books inspired by their films. In FIREPROOF, a major character whose marriage is crumbling is challenged to take The Love Dare, 40 days of showing sacrificial love to his wife. The book The Love Dare was inspired by FIREPROOF and has spent 131 weeks on the New York Times Advice best-seller list and has sold nearly 6 million copies. On June 2, five years after its release, it is still earning accolades, as it received the Impact Book Award in the K-LOVE radio network's first-ever fan-voted awards program. Alex Kendrick accepted the award at the famed Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

In the wake of The Love Dare's positive impact on marriages, the No. 1 request the Kendricks received was for The Love Dare for Parents. With this book, they break new ground for building biblically-based families. The Love Dare for Parents helps moms and dads more fully enjoy and delight in their children and offers the perfect tool to, "Win the heart of your child."
