As you listen to this book, expect to find yourself both challenged and excited to begin a wonderful, appropriate, and growing relationship with the most wonderful gift God can give us in our lifetime - our dear children.

About the Author: John Charles Ryle (1816-1900) graduated from Eton and Oxford and then pursued a career in politics, but due to lack of funds, he entered the clergy of the Church of England. He was a contemporary of Spurgeon, Moody, Mueller, and Taylor and read the great theologians like Wesley, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin, and Luther. These all influenced Ryle’s understanding and theology. Ryle began his writing career with a tract following the Great Yarmouth suspension bridge tragedy, where more than a hundred people drowned. He gained a reputation for straightforward preaching and evangelism. He travelled, preached, and wrote more than 300 pamphlets, tracts, and books, including Expository Thoughts on the Gospels, Principles for Churchmen, and Christian Leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Ryle used the royalties from his writing to pay his father’s debts, but he also felt indebted to that ruin for changing the direction of his life. He was recommended by Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli to be Bishop of Liverpool where he ended his career in 1900.

Absolutely Essential

You you are a person who has received Christ and either is or plans to become a parent you must read this book, after reading your Bible from cover to cover, of course.

Must purchase parents-Excellent

This book was indeed one of the best books I’ve read. It had so much wisdom for a parent. Truly must buy and read it for your yourself.

Needed instructions

Every parent should read this once a year.
It’s clear, biblical, sound instructions.

It’s refreshing to get this great outlook without lengthy exhortations and modern “scientific study” explanations. We don’t always have time for all that.

This book gets to the point and reminds us of all the places our heart and focus should be in rearing our children for the Lord’s sake.

Wonderful and practical book

For young and old parents to be parents and grandparents very practical and scriptural can

Great book with timeless and applicable wisdom.

This book has actionable and applicable teachings that every parent can implement. Though the book was written a while ago you can still implement the biblical teachings it espouses. It’s straight forward, to the point and if you do what it suggest, effective.
