Genuine wisdom from one who has gone before us...

Children are a blessing from the Lord, but raising them hasnever been easy! Parents -- at whatever stage in their role -- needwisdom from above and wisdom from those who have gone before. In this new book, collected from her earlier works, Edith Schaeffer shares her unique and thought-provoking insights into raising children and maintaining a healthy home. Through the years thousands of young people have entered Edith's life at L'Abri Fellowship, sitting at her table, tasting her meals, crying on her shoulder, and listening to her tell of the wonders of answered prayer. Edith brings wisdom garnered from hearing the heart-stories of young seekers and applies it to a biblical pattern of parenting. Gentleness, patience, being an example, living in the moment, fostering creativity, making use of teachable moments -- all of Edith's advice, highlighted with anecdotes from her life, encourages parents to reflect God's kindness and love. "This is a classic -- to be prized" -- The Discerning Reader
