Book Description

July 1997
It has been said that if you seek God, look into the eyes of a child. More than just a saying, this is an important truth. After all, children are in a very real sense divine messengers, and bringing them up to be responsible, caring men and women is a task from God.

Our age is reaping the bitter fruits of an unguided, unloved generation. In a hope-filled sequel to his acclaimed first book, A Plea for Purity, Johann Christoph Arnold offers a welcome approach for concerned parents everywhere.

Includes chapters on the unborn child, the first five years, the older child, the transition into adulthood, parenting, when children suffer, the role of grandparents, the pressures of academics and materialism on children, and the need for community.

John Michael Talbot

The simple and profound guidelines are rooted in the simple, living Christian tradition of the past, but remain prophetic and profound.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book on parenting that I ever read cover to cover!, February 19, 1997
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! Reuben Zimmerman, PA Clinician and Counsellor New York, NY

5.0 out of 5 stars A child led me, February 19, 1997
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! Tim Lamport, England

5.0 out of 5 stars A small treasure, unpretentious and transcendent., February 23, 1997
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
