There is no greater challenge to one’s emotional and spiritual maturity than rearing children. I don’t intend this book to be an ordinary “another book” on parenting. I intend to make insights available from the Bible, combined with common sense, about family life. The childhood home provides the basic influence that carries over into the next generation for good to the glory of God or for evil. The truism, “What we are, we have always been becoming,” is another way of looking at Proverbs 22:6, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
This book calls attention to motive and choice which controls conduct, and does not deal with changing conduct alone. You will find it helpful in almost every chapter and will be discussing its content with friends with children.
