Subtitle: A Handbook of Biblical Childrearing

God has designed each family to be a culture with a language, customs, traditions, and countless unspoken assumptions. It is the duty of the father to ensure that the shaping takes place according to biblical wisdom. Douglas Wilson argues in this book that God promised blessings to His people, "their children, and their children's children forever." The norm for faithful members of the covenant is that their children will follow them in faithfulness. The oddity should be children who fall away. Unless we reestablish faithful Christian culture in countless homes, we will never reestablish it anywhere else.
