Customer Reviews

Great gift

My wife and i have read this book and tried to apply it to the raising of our five kids. It was a great guide for us and we have bought numerous copies to give to friends. Buy it, read it, apply it, give it away. Great job Joe.

Practically Perfect in Every Way

This book is amazing! I've been using it for 7 years now and it is chalked with fantastic relational tips, as well as incredibly practical ways to train your child and give them a firm faith based on the Bible. Very easy to use. Joe White has done all the hard work of creating devotions, and choosing age appropriate passages of the Bible for your children to memorize. Our three year old memorized Psalm 23 in it's entirety, and we were shocked. I never would have even attempted to teach her had it not been for this book! Don't go on without it!

Pass it on!

I am now buying several more copies of this book to give away. I was so excited when I finished reading this book that I wanted everyone else I knew to have it too! It is so down-to-earth and practical that I feel like I may actually be able to integrate some of the ideas into our busy lives with our two young sons.

A practical how-to book for Christian parents...

In "Faith-training" Joe White compares passing along your faith to passing the baton in a relay. There is a narrow, eighteen year zone in which we need to successfully pass on the baton. The book shares examples of successes and stumbles in the author's own life, as well as success stories from the lives of friends and acquaintances. The stories, suggestions, and examples are great, but the second half of the book is invaluable. The second half of the book is a series of resources for parents. These resources range from concrete ways to say 'I Love You' to daily devotions and Bible studies for use in the home. Other resources include information on the various issues faced by today's teens. This is a must read for all parents who are wanting some practical suggestions on how to raise children who love the Lord and take that faith with them to college and beyond.
