Those looking for reliable information about Growing Families International (GFI), Gary Ezzo, Anne Marie Ezzo, or their parenting books, CDs and DVDs such as
On Becoming Babywise or
Growing Kids God's Way, will find it here. This site contains pertinent information about the Ezzos and GFI, whether you are evaluating the curricula for church or family, or simply curious about the ministry.
All of the
sponsors of this site know the Ezzos personally, and have used and taught the Ezzos' parenting curricula for many years. We have found the teaching to be biblically sound, practical, and relevant for everyday parenting. Whatever the reason for your visit to this site, we hope that your questions will be answered and you will feel confident both using and recommending GFI resources.
We know the Ezzos to be honest and forthright, standing firm in their presentation of biblical ethics in parenting. Through the GFI ministry, they are responding to what they have determined is their life's call to serve the Kingdom of God. No doubt, it has been a very humbling journey for them, being caught in the middle of the most ferocious battles of our times, a fight for the hearts and minds of our children. But through it all, they have experienced God's glory and faithfulness to them as they never waiver in putting forth the case for biblical parenting.
We invite you to visit the Ezzos' official ministry web site at
www.gfi.org for more details. Growing Families International is a Christian ministry which encourages the practical application of biblical truth to parenting. The GFI website features information about the ministry's parenting resources, commonly asked questions and testimonials, as well as helpful articles on various aspects of raising children, from feeding infants to rebellion in the teenager. Ordering information is available for the top selling book series
On Becoming (
Babywise, Toddlerwise, Preschoolwise. . .) and other books written by Gary and Anne Marie Ezzo and pediatrician Robert Bucknam, M.D.
As you peruse these pages, we pray that the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom and discernment and that whatever your choice in parenting, your family will bear the markers of ownership by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
