Teach Them Diligently (Lou Priolo)

Teach Them Diligently

How to Use the Scriptures in Child Training

Most of today’s Christian parenting resources fail to emphasize what is perhaps the most important aspect of true biblical parenting. That is, how to relate the Bible to the raising of our children in actual, practical ways. Whatever else you are doing to equip your children, do you really know how to use the Bible for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness with your children?  In Teach Them Diligently Lou Priolo has given a tool to strengthen you in this vital area.

You can learn how to use the Scriptures more thoroughly and effectively in your child training.

Commendation

“There is far more to teaching your children the Bible than merely telling them Bible stories. Unfortunately, many parents feel ill-equipped for the task, so they neglect this vital aspect of Christian parenting. In doing so, they forfeit many of the greatest blessings of parenthood. Here’s a valuable aid for parents seeking help. Lou Priolo’s Teach Them Diligently: How to Use the Scriptures in Child Training holds a wealth of practical and biblical advice for parents seeking to fulfill the mandate of Deuteronomy 6:6-7.” — John MacArthur, Pastor-Teacher, Grace Community Church, Sun Valley, California and author of Brave Dad: Raising Your Kids to Love and Follow God
