Train Up a Child!

Parenting is always a vital responsibility, but godly parenting demands even greater care and guidance. Especially for Christian families, parenting is not merely about raising children-it is about nurturing them to become disciples who live out their faith. This booklet is the fruit of over thirty years of Christian parenting experience, coupled with years of prayerful reflection. It presents major themes of godly parenting in close connection with foundational Christian faith and practice, offering both spiritual insight and practical guidance. Each chapter highlights how core Christian doctrines-such as eternity, sin, justification, faith, brotherhood, and witness-provide both the framework and direction for parenting. This work explores the mutual correction and enrichment between faith and parenting, affirming that faith shapes parenting, while parenting deepens faith. Through this perspective, the booklet encourages parents to view their role not only as caregivers but as partners in God's redemptive work within their own families.
