About the Author
South African pastor and author Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was an amazingly prolific writer. Murray began writing on the Christian life for his congregation as an extension of his local pastoral work, but he became internationally known for his books, such as Abide in Christ, that searched men's hearts and brought them into a deep relationship with Christ. Writing with an intensity of purpose and zeal for the message of the Gospel, Murray wrote numerous books even after his "retirement" at age seventy-eight.

An inspiring and challenging call to purposeful parenting,
By LAMTD (Fresno, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Your Children For Christ (Paperback)
A biblically based work focusing on the obligation of Christian parents to train their children to serve Christ and reminding us of God's promise that our prayers and efforts will not go unrewarded. Chapters are short and readable. The author spares us cute stories and focuses instead on biblical examples, exhortations and promises. Stresses no-nonsense, disciplined parenting and hierarchical family structure. Prayer, self-sacrifice and diligence are constant refrains. I was particularly encouraged by his explanation why teaching your children to honor others and exhibit proper manners is crucial to their spiritual development. Highly recommended.

I wish I had read this book years ago.,
By Michael Reiley (Wailea, HI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Your Children For Christ (Paperback)
I came across this book 19 years and 9 children into my marriage - I wish it had been much sooner. It is not so much a parenting "how-to" as it is a "why-to" book. Through 52 short chapters, Andrew Murray takes you through scripture after scripture, showing the centrality of Christ in the raising of children. I used the book as part of my morning devotion for the last couple of months and was challenged day after day with the awesome responsibility God entrusts to Christian parents. I highly recommend this book.

Raising Your Children For Christ,
By Book Angel "Vikki" (Nashville,TN.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raising Your Children For Christ (Paperback)
I would highly reccomend this book to anyone with Children or who may be teaching Children about the Lord. Andrew Murray was the Best teacher of Bibilical teachings yet he was from the 1800's and died in 1907. A very interesting and annointed man.Wonderf
