Disciplines of a Godly Family
presents a consistent, creative, loving approach to rearing children. Parents of
four and grandparents of eighteen (so far), Kent and Barbara Hughes have plenty
of experience using simple, practical ideas to raise a godly family and have fun
in the process. They draw deeply from the Bible and their own years of raising
children in this warm and intimate book.
Peppered with examples from their loving (but
not perfect) family, the Hughes's show that raising children who honor God and
others is a task well worth any parent's effort. Chapter topics include
establishing a solid family heritage, promoting affection between family
members, encouraging godliness in children, using appropriate discipline, and
helping children cultivate enriching lifelong habits. The Hughes's also offer
tips for fun and affordable family vacations, creating family traditions, and
starting a prayer notebook. They even give us a suggested list of books and
videos that should be in every family's library.
For those struggling to parent their own
children or to equip other parents for this task, a more practical, honest, and
common-sense guide will be hard to find. |
