About the book...
Drugs…alcohol…peer pressure…pre-marital sex. In the midst of an ever-changing culture, the challenge for today’s children to stand bravely against the rising tide of immorality is becoming more difficult than ever.
Today’s parents have been inundated with a variety of books, tapes and CDs that are designed to help them guide their children successfully through the murky tide. But what is really the best advice for parents, and where does it come from?
Adapted from the popular sermon series “Teaching Them Young,” Dr. Chuck Betters’ latest book, Teaching Them Young: The Hidden Treasures of the Proverbs examines critical principles on raising Godly children, taken directly from the wisdom of the Old Testament Proverbs.
Teaching Them Young discusses important parenting topics such as:
- Instilling the fear of God in children
- Why children should learn certain principles before 12 years of age
- Keeping children from becoming moral failures and “spiritual dropouts”
- How to test the “chemistry” of a child’s potentially destructive friendships and dating relationships
- Teaching children to stand alone in the face of moral compromise
- Addressing the seven deadly sins.
Filled with practical advice and Biblical stories that illustrate key concepts, Teaching Them Young is a resourceful yet hard-hitting look at the issues that all Christian parents must examine in their own hearts before passing a Godly legacy on to their children.
