2009 Book #36: How to Raise a Modern-Day Joseph

I was excited to get to read How to Raise a Modern-Day Joseph from David C Cook publishers by Linda Massey Weddle.

Each chapter in part one focuses on a different age group from birth through high school. Ideas are given based on a “master life thread” for each age period. For example, the topic of the preschool age is respect. These chapters share ideas of things to do as a family to teach that concept. It also explains characteristics of the children in that age group. This is particularly beneficial information for to help parents relate to their children on an appropriate level for their interests and understanding. Part two of the book discusses ways for the church to partner with parents through each age group. This is an excellent resource for both your home and church library.

I loved the ideas presented and they way in which they were shared. As parents we cannot rely on a couple of classes done a couple times a week to teach our children Gods word. We must actively participate in training up our children to know the Lord. This is a very practical book that helps in the goal of raising children who know, serve, and love God.
