When the author of this book, originally written as a gift to his grandchildren so they would not forget the "why" of how they had been parented, began teaching these concepts to young parents, and a few grandparents, the most common comment was "Why didn't I know this before?" There are plenty of books and studies on "Christian" parenting, but as one pastor reader expressed, "You must publish this. I've never seen anything like this in print before!" Then the first grandchildren to have a child said they were sharing it with their friends and also mentioned how helpful it would be in book and study form. Your servant, the author, is pleased that others might prosper from this information and will be strongly successful and confident Christian parents.Within the pages of God's revelation to mankind are so many "helps" and so much "encouragement" for the parent who follows God's design, they can't help but be successful.First, this plan has been tested by the author and his wife before being presented to you.
