In the Garden of Eden, there was only one "No." Everything else was "Yes." In this short book on Christian childrearing, Douglas Wilson points out that we have a Father who delights in us and makes it easy for us to love and obey him. If that is the kind of Father we have, shouldn't we earthly parents do the same? Wilson explains how parents should not just try to get their kids to obey a set of rules or to make their house so fun that following the rules is always easy. Instead, he calls for parents to instill in their kids a love for God and His standards that will serve them well all their days.This book also features an appendix in which Doug and his wife Nancy answer various parents' questions about various applications of the principles discussed in this book.

"If you even remotely interested in children and why they matter, why they are are the core of the marital union, why god cares so much about them, why they figure in almost every epistle, why almost every couple since the dawn of time has had them, or tried to have them, and suffered much in the process, why parents continue to suffer all the hardships involved in having kids, why the nuclear family and especially the children seem to be at the heart of the universe, woven in the very fabric of normal life and reality, then this book will appeal to you and be a practical help especially in the moments these world-changers make you want to rip all your hair out. <br/>I cannot give higher praise than to say that Douglas Wilson understand the world, the fundamental fabric of the world, and as a result his insight is piercing and imminently helpful, a breath of fresh air that helps you to see the world as it is, or as God intended it to be."
