Keep Your Kids

How to Raise Strong Kids in an Age of Therapeutic Sentimentalism

By: Douglas Wilson

Narrated by: Douglas Wilson

What do you want most for your kids?

A good job? A happy marriage? A long and healthy life? Perfect attendance at every holiday? A life without enemies? David and Esther and Job are not impressed. Some of God’s favorite characters offer us a different vision: make your children count.

In this book, the goal for parents is not to keep them forever, but instead, to raise the kind of men and women who know what to do when Goliaths, tyrants, and hurricanes descend. What will your family legacy be?

Helpful and timely.

Overall, this contained great, timely Biblical content for parenting (with the caveat of a few doctrinal differences, particularly on infant baptism). Not a fan of the author as the narrator, but the content made up for it.

Powerful message missing in today's culture

amazing book with plenty of scripture references and evidence! highly recommended to new and current parents with children of all ages

Highly recommend

Negative Nancy

Fire and brimstone, obedience through fear and judgement. Yet everything he said was through negative perspective; referring to the 90’s as “normal” is such an egocentric statement.
