Dennis Mansfield and his wife Susan planned for and expected every parent’s dream but instead lived every parent’s nightmare. This haunting memoir tells the story of a father who diligently followed all the parenting rules that he learned from conservative Christian "experts" - but whose life with his son Nate was cut short when the young man died at twenty-seven of drug-related causes. It wasn’t that the principles Dennis followed were faulty; it was that the promised guarantee turned out to be void.

In Beautiful Nate: A Memoir of a Family's Love, a Life Lost, and Heaven's Promises, author Mansfield, a national leader in the pro-family movement of the 1990s, reveals what did and did not work in raising a child within the evangelical framework. But rather than losing his faith and abandoning the God he’d trusted, Dennis eventually found new joy and purpose - with a more compassionate and realistic view of the roles parents play and the rules they follow.

This dramatic and honest book offers valuable insights into what went wrong in a dedicated Christian family and how things might have gone differently - giving parents direction for raising their own children in a troubled world. Exploring the differences between fear-based parenting, child-centered parenting and healthy intentional parenting, Mansfield shares hard-earned wisdom and powerful ideas on what children need. Whether you’re in the midst of parenting small children or have experienced the heartbreak of a child gone astray, you’ll find guidance and hope for your journey in this poignant, real-life story.
