5.0 out of 5 stars
An enjoyable and usefull book,
By HanakoGal (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What the Scriptures Teach Us about Raising a Child (Hardcover)
This book is full of things to help improve your interactions between parent and child. Each chapter was easy to read and understand and had a clear message and advice; with practical things to do and things to think about. Stories and verses from the scriptures were quoted and talked about. It helped to know the skills we too can do and it also helped me to see the scriptures in a new way: full of family stories and the way the great father our Heavenly Father is parenting us. This is a book I highly recommend.

5 star message, 1 star book,

This review is from: What the Scriptures Teach Us about Raising a Child (Hardcover)
This short book was difficult for me to get through. The author clouds his message with lots of personal stories and interpretations and it feels very disorganized. I was expecting a book with a clear purpose with references to the scriptures and specific, tangible things we can do to understand the scriptures better and apply them to ourselves as parents. Instead, this book read more like a journal laced with scriptures. I didn't really enjoy it because Michael Wilcox is a stranger to me and has a very "flowery" way of making a point. At the end of every chapter I had to peel away all the fluffy layers and ask myself what I actually could draw from it, and there was very little. Disappointed I spent nearly $20 on a little book the author seemed to write for himself.

This review is from: What the Scriptures Teach Us about Raising a Child (Hardcover)
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a parent or wants to be. S. Micheal Wilcox has a way of explaining the scriptures in such a way that paints an image in your mind, which influences you. Each topic (or scripture) is discussed plainly and clearly.
I sent this book to my Daughter and Son-In-Law who were recently married and not pregnant yet. There is a chapter that everyone should read before having children, and I only wish I had that information prior to my children coming into this world. Great book, Great writer and speaker. A must for my library!
