Our culture’ s overall ambivalence toward family lies in stark contrast to the attitude Christian parents ought to have toward family, based on God’ s Word. In Disciplines of a Godly Family, Kent and Barbara Hughes share inspiring stories and practical advice gleaned from more than forty years of marriage and parenting experience. They discuss such topics as the nature of family life in a fallen world, the need for grace, trusting God, and understanding family history in light of God’ s providence. Those who set out to be godly parents, though they will surely face challenges and hardships, can experience a life full of blessing, glory, power, sanctification, and satisfaction. This books is a treasure for anyone attempting to parent under the authority of God’ s Word. |
