3.0 out of 5 stars A Blessing, But a Challenge to Read, August 10, 2000
By Anthony Tan (Singapore Singapore) - See all my reviews
This book deals with the very important topic of traditional large families. It does shed some light, but frankly I expected more. I would have thought that on such a down-to-earth topic, there would be much to share, but Dr. Diamond treats this in a ...clinical fashion.

His approach is rather academic and abstract. Everything is spoken of in general terms and did not engage me. Compare this with a book like 'Rome Sweet Home' by Scott and Kimberly Hahn. The Hahns really share from their heart and draw you in to their story.

The chapters are systematically divided but there are no sections to further help you suss out important info. Also, the biblical basis of having a large family is not dealt with. That's another strike against this book. Dr. Diamond is a professional and he writes like it.

Because of the paucity of information on this topic, I would still recommend this book. But I'm certainly on the lookout for others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Large Family: A Blessing and a Challenge, January 3, 2005
I received this book for my birthday and, having a large family myself, have found this book encouraging, enlightening and inspriational. It has encouraged me by giving concrete suggestions regarding day-to-day living, it has enlightened me in the psychology that is inherent to larger vs. smaller families (such as micro-management of fewer children vs. delegation and administration of more children in a family) that has been invaluable in today's world where everyone from the government down to the individual think that you're supposed to drop your life to sit and "watch/personally supervise" your children AT ALL TIMES lest you be a "bad/negligent parent". Because of this book I have found that my family is Normal, and I am, after all, a good mother. Wonderful book. Not meant to be a novel, but it is not a heavy read. Homeschoolers will love it!!
