Pastor and family counselor Johann Christoph Arnold calls parents to recognize that parenthood is more than duty, but is designed by God to be a privilege and blessing and an aid to drawing us closer to Himself.

The only book on parenting that I ever read cover to cover!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Little Child Shall Lead Them: Hopeful Parenting in a Confused World (Paperback)
As a busy professional and father of two lovable but occasionally exhausting boys, I look for books on effective parenting in almost every bookstore I step into --- and believe me, I've looked at a lot of books. Not surprisingly, these books seem to fall into two categories: either they are written by born-again Christians who gush sweetly about taking your child to Sunday school before he can even walk, or else they are so liberal that I feel as though maybe I shouldn't bother to try to be a good parent at all - apparently it won't help!
FINALLY - here is a book that makes sense. It is readable, to the point, honest and practical. It covers everything from diapers and pacifiers to sex and alcohol. Even my wife reads it from time to time - and this, from a woman who swore she would never pick up a parenting book again. If you really care about your kids, BUY THIS BOOK!

A child led me,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Little Child Shall Lead Them: Hopeful Parenting in a Confused World (Paperback)
Oh great, I thought as my wife showed me the book she had just finished. Another 'how to' book I thought. But, something she said caught my attention and I figured I would at least start reading it. "If we did this, we would enjoy our children twice as much" she said.
I love my kids but, to be honest, there were times when I could think of more exciting things to do than reading 'The Biggest Bear" to them for the 56th time. Also, I often wondered just what I was doing, bringing up children in a world that was getting worse by the month it seemed. I began reading and found myself gripped. Here was... "advice" is a crude word. Perhaps "life" is better. I now have a new asset- my children show ME how to deal with the world. The childlike approach shows the way and I'm intent on protecting that in them-with new joy!

A small treasure, unpretentious and transcendent.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Little Child Shall Lead Them: Hopeful Parenting in a Confused World (Paperback)
"I Tell you a Mystery" is a beautiful book of surpassing
dignity and tenderness...I hope it will be widely read, not only by those who call themselves religious, and I hope it will be shared with children also. Although written with great simplicity of style, it is nonetheless a work of moral
mystery."
Jonathan Kozol, author of Amazing Grace
