| Description |
If God is the Creator of our children, and if He has charged parents to train them up according to His way, then surely He has given directions for accomplishing this monumental task. Indeed He has, and those instructions are in His Word, the Bible.
Drawing from the wisdom of Scripture, from experiences as a father, and from work with hundreds of children as an educator and recreation director, author Don Gilchrist addresses these issues and much more in helping parents fulfill God's high call to Biblical Parenting.
