From the Back Cover

How do you, as a parent, encourage your children to desire spiritual guidance and lead a moral life? Take them to church? Read fables or Bible stories to them? Turn off the TV? Maybe, but you can do so much more!

Using time-tested principles and anecdotes from their own family of six children, Benny and Sheree Phillips offer insightful ideas for building character and faith in your kids. They instruct both single and married moms and dads on how to:
* teach children respect, responsibility, and responsiveness
* shape a child's concept of God
* motivate children to make healthy decisions
* discipline effectively
* maximize your positive influence as a parent

Whether your children are toddlers or junior highers, Raising Kids Who Hunger for God will help you steer them away from apathy and rebellion. It will equip you for raising the kind of mature adults you want your children to become. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Raising Kids Who Hunger for God (Paperback)

This is such a great "can't put down" book for those truely seeking God's best for their children. Practical suggestions and methods. Some of the things we were already doing, but we were reminded of so many things that we tend to let slide as busy parents. I highly recommend this book. I'm ordering 4 more to give to friends.

I have bought this book for the 5th time. This book has impacted my life so much. I share this book with all new mom's or Mom's that are having trouble with their kids and ask me how I raised respectful children. I love how this book explains biblical parenting concepts as far as "DO's and Don't's" and tells how we can apply that to our kids. Who better to know how to raise well rounded children than God, our creator? My kids actually brag on the way they were disciplined. God is good!
