“Disciplines of a Godly Family” presents a sound, creative, and loving approach to parenting. As parents of four children and grandparents of 18 grandchildren, Kent and Barbara have enough experience to apply simple and practical ideas to raise a Christian family while enjoying the process. The characters portrayed in these warm and intimate pages are taken from the Bible and from real life during their children's upbringing years.
Seasoned with examples from their own loving (though imperfect) family, the Hughes show that raising children to honor God and their neighbor is a worthwhile endeavor. Topics covered in their chapters include:
How to establish a strong family heritage, how to promote affection among family members, how to stimulate Christian faith in children, the use of appropriate discipline, how to help children establish and cultivate enriching lifelong habits.
The Hughes also offer their advice for having fun family vacations, creating family traditions, and starting a prayer schedule.
For those striving to be better parents or to equip others for this task, it will be difficult to find a more practical, sincere, and common-sense guide.
