This is such a great book that really brings your focus back to what we really should be teaching our children.

This books shows you what the bible says that we are to teach our children, not what the world says.

When you read this book, you will be inspired to put God and Scripture first, and to remember that what is really at stake is your child's eternal life, not just their future career.

R.C. is not saying that "school" things are unimportant, but that we really should remember what God told us to teach our children, and to make sure that we take that seriously.

He shows us the biblical mandates in scripture that tells parents to teach their children, and train our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

*I highly recommend this book if you are wanting to make God and Scripture a first priority in your lives.

We really can't forget that the Lord who made our children, and blessed us with them, also asked us to train them up in a certain way. When we don't take that mandate seriously, it is like we are telling God that we know better as to what to teach our children, or that what He told us is not really all that important. 

Although Math, Science and History is important, it is not as important as our children loving the Lord, and living for Him, and raising up their own children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

That is what is really important after all, isn't it?*

*My own words, not from the book.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phillipians 4:8
