5.0 out of 5 stars Father's Reward, March 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Father's Reward - Raising Your Children to Walk in the Truth (Paperback)

I gave this book to my son. After he read it his wife (my daughter-in-law) gave me a big hug thanking me for giving it to him. She and the kids had benefitted from my sons application of the Biblical truth in this book to his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A marvelous, entertaining look at raising a family, January 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Father's Reward - Raising Your Children to Walk in the Truth (Paperback)

I've read a great many How-To-Raise-A-Family-In-Christ books, but this one is special. It's fascinating and fun, especially the anectodes laced throughout the book. It seemed at times that his family was too good to be true, but that, I suppose, is the point - working hard at doing the truly Christian thing can reap great and wondrous rewards.

This review is from: A Father's Reward - Raising Your Children to Walk in the Truth (Paperback)

This book is written from the heart, based on the experience of raising six kids, of whom I am one. If and when I ever have kids, you can be sure I will break out my signed copy and dig through it diligently. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my parents and would like to pass along to my kids the many gifts they have given to me. A Father's Reward contains a wealth of practical do's and don't and is so entertaining I have read portions of it many times. I can also vouch for the fact that it is all true.

The publisher at the time of A Father's Reward's release was focused on fathering, thus the title, but this book is great for mothers as well.

I heartily recommend it!
