Duties of Parents [Paperback]

J. C. Ryle (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1993

One of the most challenging (and rewarding) positions a person may find themselves in is that of a parent. Unfortunately, few prepare for this great responsibility, even though it is part of the majority of one's life. J.C. Ryle comes to the rescue once again, with sound Biblical advice to aid in this daunting task.

Originally published in the 19th century, this short book contains 17 nuggets of wisdom for training children. You could easily read the entire book in a single evening. Or for those who are pressed for time, keep it handy, and read a chapter anytime you have a spare minute.

The principles which are outlined in this book are not quick fixes. Parenting is hard work, but if you put into practice the things which are mentioned, your children will be prepared for a lifetime.

Remember, you are parenting for eternity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!, July 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Duties of Parents (Paperback)

This book not only gives you helpful advice on how to raise your children, but it also helps expose where we may become lazy as parents. It shows how we can love our children without spoiling them. It's a book you'll want to read over and over again. It's very short and to the point and easy to comprehend.

This review is from: Duties of Parents (Paperback)

This is a must read for every parent who seeks to raise their children in the instruction of the Lord. I am going to order more so that I can share them with new parents and other members of our church. I highly recommend this. Please take some time and read it... It is short but it is powerful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Next to the Bible, the best resource for godly parenting, December 5, 2008

This review is from: Duties of Parents (Paperback)

I cannot praise this slim volume enough. Although written in 1888, it contains timeless truths because it is based on God's wisdom. Ryle perfectly balanced love and discipline in this approach to raising godly children. And it is so reasonably priced, I purchased 10 to give to my other Christian-parent friends. Those who truly seek biblical parenting should not be without this book. Buy it now!
