5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Christian Parents, August 16, 2007

By	Mom24 "MJF" (Middleville USA) - See all my reviews

This book has many practical ideas for instructing yourself and your children in virtues. Stenson has many examples from real families that use a variety of methods to teach there children self-control, discipline, charity, justice... virtues that are important for anyone to strive for. It was an easy read with lots of great information & ideas. It has some Catholic content but could be used by anyone for good ideas for instilling virtue in your children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, challenging book, August 14, 2006

By	Thomas More (Scenic Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

I am a young father of two little girls. This book was perfect for me. It's challenging and made me want to improve my own character to better serve as a model for my children. An important point Stenson makes is that a parents' personal example speaks infinitely more than their words. This book was also great in that its author is a faithful Catholic and he draws upon the Seven Cardinal virtues for fashioning character. I will re-read this valuable book.
