Disciplines of a Godly Family 3 reviews R. Kent Hughes, Barbara Hughes
Crossway Books, 2007
Best parenting/family book out there
+ Biblical and Practical Parenting Book + Classic on Spiritual Disciplines for the Family!
This book is a re-release/update of the Hughes's book "Common Sense Parenting," which is out of print. I've bought quite a few used copies of that one, but I keep giving it away because it's so good. My (current) copy is heavily underlined and highlighted. That's why I was so happy to see ...

Christian Living in the Home 10 reviews Jay Edward Adams
P & R Publishing, 1972
Speaks directly to Titus 2
+ Excellent book + A Standard Work
This book is the epitome of Titus 2 that instructs the elders to teach the young women and men individually. Mr. Adams made some good points that are truly life lessons as a Christian striving to be all that God wants us to be. Although I did not always like what Mr. Adams said he made biblical ...

Federal Husband 13 reviews Douglas Wilson
Canon Press, 1999
Very well done.
In this book, my longheld belief that the husband and father is not only the federal head of the home, but also the one who bears the responsibility for what happens in the home, was affirmed. Biblically. We are responsible for leading ourselves, our wives, and our children to truth, and not ...

Shepherding a Child's Heart 254 reviews Tedd Tripp
Shepherd Press, 1995
Once opposed, now understand - GREAT BOOK
+ 10 years later + Excellent book - even those who don't spank can glean much
To sum it up, the book changed our hearts and our home. Most people who wrote bad reviews probably never put the book into action and judged quickly which I respect.
