Josh Mulvihill wrote his PhD on this subject for Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and then published this book in 2018 (Bethany House). It is a much needed book on an important topic. He writes in the first chapter, “There are millions of Christian Grandparents in America today with few resources to equip them to accomplish […]

10 Commitments for Dads
I have read Josh McDowell all my life, especially his books on apologetics. This was a different kind of book from him, however, but a good addition to his list. He describes his own “disfunctional” childhood and how he learned all he knows about parenting from being a parent and a student of God’s Word. […]
Shepherding a Child’s Heart
Tedd Tripp wrote this book in 1995 and I have read the 2005 edition. It is also available in a 2012 edition and also on Kindle. Tripp and his wife have also authored, “Instructing a Child’s Heart”. Though Tripp sometimes uses worn out criticisms of “rule keeping” as legalism and likes to use Christian School […]
Successful Christian Parenting
John MacArthur wrote this book in 1998 but it remains one of the most thoroughly biblical catalogs of Scriptures and topics on the Christian family. It is subtitled, “Raising your child with care, compassion, and common sense.” His proposition might be summarized in this short paragraph: “In other words, children do no go bad because […]
Raising Godly Children in an Ungodly Wor...
I purchased this book while visiting the Ark Encounter. It is written by Ken Ham and his brother Steve. It is very much a tribute to their father and his discipleship of them as they grew up in Australia. In fact, Ken Ham writes in the Introduction, “It is part journal, part tribute, part devotional, […]
Family Driven Faith
This is another book which promotes the Family Integrated Church Movement (FICM). Baucham is a national speaker for this movement. There are many good things in this book and it would not be alarming if it only spoke of being better parents and families, and churches paying more attention to the family. But it goes […]
A Weed In The Church
This book is a definition and defense of the Family Integrated Church Movement (FICM) and specifically an impassioned cry to eliminate all programs from the church which divide families for teaching times, including nursery, Junior Church, Sunday School, and especially youth classes. Brown says, “The proposition of this book is that the philosophy and practice […]
When Sinners Say “I Do”
I just like the title! Harvey follows that theme throughout with a good emphasis on our human nature and the trouble it causes us especially with other people. A good companion to marriage counseling.
Marriage
This is an enjoyable and easy to use discussion book for couples. It covers five topics in eight chapters and includes questions and answers for each section (communication, conflict, forgiveness, sexual intimacy, and money matters).
Shepherding a Child’s Heart
I always have my eye out for really good Christian living books, and my interests these days include Marriage, Family, Music, Children, and Youth since I deal with those things on a daily and weekly basis. Wow! It’s tough finding any practical, conservative, biblical how-to reading! However, Tedd Tripp has thankfully filled some of the […]
