4.0 out of 5 stars Great, to-the-point resource, September 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Christian Mom's Answer Book (Paperback)

This is a great book for those who have little time to spend reading an entire book from cover to cover. You can read whatever you are interested in or what you need at that moment, due to it being divided by subject.

Most all of the chapters held great advice, lots of things I'll be trying. Some were a bit heavy, for example, death of a child, etc. But just about everything is covered.

From a biblical standpoint, it seemed to be pretty on target with God's teachings, and how to handle your children, regardless of age.

I would recommend this as a purchase (in paperback for cost savings) and a keeper!
