RAISING
YOUR CHILDREN ACCORDING TO THE LORD’S INSTRUCTIONS
Although
we’ve been married for over 26 years, we haven’t gotten blessed with any children;
perhaps it’s for the best since one of us [me] has a genetic condition we
wouldn’t want to pass on to any children we might have had; besides we had
married in our late 30s and early 40s.
So
I read this book philosophically to see it offers to those fortunate to have
become parents.
We
first have to remember that scripture one than once instructs parents as to
what they need to do for their children, for example
DEUTERONOMY
11:19 [NKJV]
“You
shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house,
when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.”
PROVERBS
22:6
“Train
up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from
it.”
I
looked at this book from a child’s point of view, and I found it to be an ABC instructional
manual as to how to raise a child, starting with giving them the vital the unconditional love they need. Followed by knowing what the child must feel like
with its experiencing growing pains like having their first teeth coming in,
falling and bruising themselves, etc. and knowing what to do.
The
book contains a beautiful interweaving of scripture, providing aspects of the
Lord’s caring for His children and the author’s own experiences raising her
offspring.
For
wanting to give individuals who have gotten blessed with children a spiritual
guidebook as to how they should raise them in the eyes of the Lord, I’ve given
the author, Karen Cogan, 5 STARS.
