Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A unique parenting manifesto from one of America's most provocative personalities.

According to Shmuley Boteach, author of Kosher Sex and host of TLC's Shalom in the Home, transmitting passions, motivating children with shared goals, and getting them excited about values are the most important things any parent can do. With great humor and insight, Boteach shows parents how to take their child to life's mountaintop-and create a parent-child bond based on vitality, exuberance, and mutual respect.

About the Author
Shmuley Boteach is the star of the weekly television series Shalom in the Home. He lives with his wife and eight children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good!, October 31, 2006
By Phyllis Sommer "Reading Rabbi" (Highwood, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have read many parenting books, and I read this one because I was intriguted by the title...Passion is indeed one of the things that seems to be missing in the young people with whom I interact. I wasn't sure what to expect from Shmuley but I was pleaseantly surprised by the readablity and strength of the writing and content.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is struggling with the pressures of modern life on their family. It gives real-life advice for real-life families.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'm grateful for the guidance, February 12, 2007
By Hiasun "Hiasun" (Hilo, HI United States) - See all my reviews
This book included the guidance I've been looking for. Each of the five sections gave me something concrete to take away and apply. I didn't have to complete the entire book before I could begin applying new meaning to the relationship(s) with my family. I saw an immediate change in myself, and my family that increased with each new section. This is a book that I will KEEP in my personal library for many years to come, and one that I would appreciate having in print for some time, so that I could share it with my brothers/sisters, friends, and children when they come-of-age to have their own families. This is one of those books, I would run to the store to buy for anyone starting a new family.

Thank you for sharing yourself and your perspective with others.
