This book really is a wealth of information, especially for a handbook. However, at times I felt the language was a little too academic and the chapters were so full of info that they took forever to get through. My husband and I read it together, and it was pretty exhausting. Also, the discussion questions at the end were okay, but some were a little forced and repetitive. But, if you can get over those few things, this book really does have some great suggestions and tips on Christian parenting(if you can remember them all!).

This book clarified what needs to be done to develop children of character and love. It also helped me learn how to make better choices when trying to decide the "right course of action" when dealing with kids and my life.

I love this book! It was easy to read and had wonderful practical examples.I started a group discussion with young mothers to help them face the challenges of raising children. Every parent must read this book.

Great book. The essentials are all spelled out.
Easy to read and identify for both Parents, as well as a great read for discussion to lead to family unity.
Recommend it to families, or professionals who engage with families.

Since reading this book and putting some of the principles into practice; I have noticed that my, three and a half year old, son has gaining in respect for and concentration on his father's advice. While is it probably to soon to see the benefit on my one year old daughter; James Stenson's pearls of wisdom and perspective on parenting, has given me a firmer hope for both of my childrens' futures.

Great book on raising children. Just wished I read this book before I had children!
