This book is probably going to be a shock to some. Pastor Wilson digs into the heart of parenting and the gravity of God’s call for parents. Yet he also provides the encouragement and hope of the Gospel and God’s promises to the often weary hearts and minds of parents. This book is for those who are not satisfied with modern methods of worldly wisdom but for those who desire to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness through what God has revealed in the His Word.
I just finished reading this in 2020 amidst the chaos and confusion of a world turned upside down. In God’s providence, He has given us the opportunity to take seriously our callings to raise our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord and to do it in the context of prioritizing God’s order of parents teaching the children that God has given them. I have 3 children under the age of 7 and it has truly been an adjustment but this book has helped me refocus on God’s promises and his call on my life as a husband and father to take ownership over the education of my children. My wife has also been reading the book as well and we have grown together more and more as we began homeschooling and I began working from home due to the coronavirus.
Enough of my rambling, I highly recommend this book and would suggest that parents read together.

Kitchen? Front porch? Junk drawer? Pastor Douglas Wilson takes the whole family on a room-by-room tour of a Christian house, showing how selflessness transforms everything. | Christian parents should raise their kids with prayer, faith, and confidence. This accessible and challenging study by pastor Douglas Wilson lays out what God requires and promises as you parent your children. | Current dating practices leave young people emotionally and spiritually wrecked. Pastor Douglas Wilson offers men and women biblical truth for honoring God, their parents, and one another as they pursue long-lasting relationships. | “Is this radical Christianity?

| These are our top sellers, presenting God’s grace and truth for every person at every moment. | Normal day-to-day life with kids at early ages can be exhausting. Rachel Jankovic, mother of seven, provides personal stories and practical advice on how to persevere in the high but demanding call of motherhood. | Our unchristian world preaches to men a gospel of weakness and fragility. Michael Foster and Bnonn Tenant challenge men to embrace what God made them: dangerous leaders, god-fearing husbands, inspiring fathers, loyal friends. | How can you be a faithful woman in the unfolding consequences of feminism’s war against femininity? Rebekah Merkle focuses on God’s design for women, encouraging you to be a godly mom, a loving wife, and a bold entrepreneur. | God designed the household as his kingdom’s command center—and Christians can choose to work either with or against God’s design. In this truly original book, C.R. Wiley unlocks the deep, eschatological centrality of the household. | “This book is nothing less than a proclamation of the Gospel as embodied in family life.” Pastor Douglas Wilson gets at the heart of the family, revealing how listening to the Gospel transforms the way we disciple and care for our children’s souls." |

| These are our top sellers, presenting God’s grace and truth for every person at every moment. | How do you raise great men, ready for work, marriage, worship, and suffering? Pastor and father Douglas Wilson gives practical advice on how to mold your boys into powerful servants of God, addressing everything from school to sports to sex. | Wisdom. Courage. Modesty. In fifteen brief lessons, Nancy Wilson outlines the virtues of a godly woman. Suitable for small group bible studies or personal devotionals, this practical guide offers clarity and encouragement to women of all ages. | Cooking for crowds is a great but tough ministry opportunity, requiring tons of stress, money, and mental math (0.75 tsp. x 5 = 3.75 tsp = 1.25 tbsps). Drawing on long experience, Rebekah Merkle provides big recipes that are quick, cheap, and classy. | One of the self-centered ideas shaping our culture is that you are enough. You are not enough, Rachel Jankovic says. Pretending differently makes true happiness impossible. But in Christ, you can find more meaning and love than you ever hoped for. | “You can’t score points until you have the ball. And reformers will not have the ball until they have a culture.” America needs redeeming change. Here’s how to do it, from one of our time’s most effective reformers. |
